During the night, Russian aerial assaults have resulted in electricity outages in extensive areas of the capital city, Kyiv.
Nine people were hurt while residents in eastern neighborhoods were plunged into darkness and dealt with disruption to water supplies, as stated by local authorities.
Meanwhile, a seven-year-old child was lost their life in a different Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia area in the country's south-east, based on information from regional authorities.
Moscow has escalated attacks on electrical systems over the past few days, while Ukrainian leadership has demanded "real steps" from partner nations to apply pressure on Russia.
"What's needed is not superficial actions but strong steps - from the United States, Europe and the major economies - in providing air defence systems and applying restrictions," was stated in a social media post.
Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and over thirty projectiles attacked the country's power systems, describing such strikes as "premeditated" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.
Government representatives said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and maintenance teams were laboring to restore power.
A wave of strikes hit energy infrastructure and residential structures in the capital.
Multiple people wounded in the attacks on the city have been hospitalized, per statements from local officials.
Local officials said the city experienced intense attacks overnight. A seven-year-old child was killed and several individuals were hurt.
The attacks come after evenings of aerial attacks in the region, sections of which remain under the control of Russian forces.
The whole nation is in a state of readiness for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are harder to detect.
Authorities told reporters that Russia was deliberately attempting to damage the electrical infrastructure, with attacks already affecting energy systems.
He said utility staff and government agencies were bracing for further attacks.
