During the night, Russian missile and drone strikes have led to electricity outages in extensive areas of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
Several individuals were hurt while residents in eastern districts were experienced blackouts and dealt with interruptions to water supplies, per reports from city officials.
At the same time, a young boy was killed in a different Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southern area, based on information from regional authorities.
Moscow has increased strikes on power infrastructure over recent weeks, while Ukrainian leadership has demanded "substantial measures" from partner nations to exert influence on Moscow.
"What is required is not symbolic gestures but firm measures - from the US, Europe and the G7 - in providing air defence systems and implementing sanctions," was stated in a public message.
Officials stated that numerous aerial vehicles and several dozen missiles attacked Ukraine's energy infrastructure, characterizing such attacks as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as the weather cools.
The energy minister said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were working to fix the damage.
A wave of strikes hit energy infrastructure and apartment buildings in Kyiv.
Five out of the nine people wounded in the strikes on the city have been hospitalized, as confirmed by municipal representatives.
Local officials said the city came under significant strikes overnight. A minor was killed and several individuals were wounded.
