During the night, Russian missile and drone strikes have caused power cuts in multiple districts of the capital city, Kyiv.

Several individuals were hurt while residents in the city's east were plunged into darkness and faced disruption to water supplies, as stated by city officials.

Meanwhile, a young boy was lost their life in a separate assault in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southern area, according to area administrators.

Russian forces has escalated assaults on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while Ukrainian leadership has requested "concrete actions" from international partners to increase pressure on Russia.

"What's needed is not window dressing but strong steps - from the America, Europe and the G7 - in supplying air defence systems and implementing penalties," he wrote in a social media post.

Officials stated that numerous aerial vehicles and several dozen projectiles attacked the country's power systems, describing such strikes as "premeditated" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.

The energy minister said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and repair crews were striving to repair systems.

A series of attacks damaged power facilities and civilian homes in Kyiv.

Multiple people hurt in the attacks on the capital have been transported for medical care, as confirmed by city authorities.

Area administrators said the city came under significant strikes during nighttime hours. A minor died and three other people were wounded.

The assaults follow evenings of air raids in the territory, sections of which are currently controlled by invading troops.

The entire country is in a state of readiness for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are more difficult to spot.

Government officials told the media that Moscow was deliberately attempting to destroy the electrical infrastructure, with attacks already impacting energy systems.

Authorities confirmed technical personnel and authorities were bracing for further attacks.
