Overnight, Moscow's aerial assaults have caused electricity outages in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
Nine people were injured while inhabitants in eastern neighborhoods were left without electricity and faced disruption to water systems, as stated by municipal leaders.
Simultaneously, a minor was fatally injured in a separate aerial attack in the southeastern region in the country's south-east, according to area administrators.
Moscow has intensified strikes on electrical systems over the past few days, while officials has requested "concrete actions" from international partners to increase pressure on Russia.
"What's needed is not superficial actions but firm measures - from the United States, Europe and the Group of Seven - in supplying air defence systems and applying restrictions," he wrote in a public message.
He said that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and over thirty projectiles targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, describing such assaults as "strategic and deliberate" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.
The energy minister said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and repair crews were laboring to fix the damage.
A wave of strikes struck power facilities and apartment buildings in Kyiv.
Several of the people injured in the assaults on the capital have been transported for medical care, as confirmed by city authorities.
Area administrators said the city experienced heavy assaults during nighttime hours. A young boy lost their life and three other people were injured.
The strikes follow evenings of bombing campaigns in the area, portions of which remain under the control of Russian forces.
The whole nation is in a state of readiness for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are tougher to spot.
Authorities told reporters that Moscow was purposely seeking to destroy the electrical infrastructure, with assaults already affecting energy systems.
Officials stated technical personnel and government agencies were bracing for more assaults.
