During the night, Russian missile and drone strikes have caused electricity outages in large parts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
A number of civilians were hurt while inhabitants in the city's east were left without electricity and faced interruptions to drinking water, as stated by municipal leaders.
Meanwhile, a minor was killed in a different Russian drone strike in the southeastern region in the southeastern part, based on information from area administrators.
Moscow has intensified assaults on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while Ukrainian leadership has requested "substantial measures" from international partners to apply pressure on Moscow.
"What's needed is not symbolic gestures but firm measures - from the US, the EU and the major economies - in delivering defensive weapons and enforcing sanctions," mentioned in a online statement.
He said that 450 drones and over thirty rockets targeted energy facilities, describing such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as winter approaches.
The energy minister said Russia was "inflicting a massive strike" and technical staff were laboring to fix the damage.
A series of attacks struck energy infrastructure and civilian homes in the capital.
Multiple people hurt in the attacks on the capital have been hospitalized, per statements from city authorities.
Regional authorities said the metropolitan region experienced intense attacks throughout the evening. A young boy was killed and several individuals were injured.
The attacks come after evenings of air raids in the territory, sections of which are occupied by Moscow's military.
All of Ukraine is in a state of readiness for advanced weapon attacks, which are more difficult to identify.
Authorities told journalists that Russia was purposely seeking to damage the electrical infrastructure, with strikes already disrupting fuel infrastructure.
He said technical personnel and authorities were preparing for further attacks.
