Overnight, Russian aerial assaults have resulted in power cuts in extensive areas of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
Several individuals were wounded while local people in the city's east were experienced blackouts and encountered disruption to drinking water, according to local authorities.
At the same time, a seven-year-old child was lost their life in a distinct Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia area in the country's south-east, based on information from regional authorities.
Moscow has intensified attacks on energy facilities over the past few days, while the country's government has demanded "substantial measures" from international partners to apply pressure on Russia.
"What's needed is not window dressing but decisive action - from the America, Europe and the Group of Seven - in providing defensive weapons and applying restrictions," was stated in a social media post.
Authorities reported that 450 drones and more than 30 rockets targeted energy facilities, describing such attacks as "premeditated" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.
Energy officials said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and technical staff were working to fix the damage.
A series of attacks hit energy infrastructure and civilian homes in Kyiv.
Five out of the nine people injured in the strikes on the capital have been transported for medical care, per statements from city authorities.
Regional authorities said the urban area came under significant strikes during nighttime hours. A minor died and three other people were injured.
The attacks succeed nights of aerial attacks in the territory, parts of which are occupied by Russian forces.
The whole nation is in a state of readiness for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are harder to identify.
Authorities told journalists that Moscow was deliberately attempting to demolish the national power system, with assaults already impacting fuel infrastructure.
Officials stated energy workers and officials were bracing for further attacks.
