Throughout the evening, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have led to electricity outages in large parts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.

Several individuals were hurt while local people in the city's east were left without electricity and dealt with disruption to water systems, according to local authorities.

At the same time, a seven-year-old child was fatally injured in a separate assault in the Zaporizhzhia area in the country's south-east, according to local officials.

Russian forces has increased strikes on energy facilities over the last fortnight, while the country's government has demanded "concrete actions" from allies to exert influence on Russia.

"What is required is not symbolic gestures but strong steps - from the United States, the EU and the major economies - in providing protection systems and applying sanctions," mentioned in a social media post.

Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and over thirty projectiles targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, characterizing such attacks as "premeditated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.

Energy officials said Moscow was "launching a major assault" and technical staff were working to restore power.

A series of attacks damaged power facilities and civilian homes in Kyiv.

Several of the people wounded in the assaults on the city have been taken to hospital, according to city authorities.

Area administrators said the urban area endured intense attacks overnight. A young boy was killed and three other people were wounded.

The assaults succeed nights of aerial attacks in the area, parts of which are currently controlled by Russian forces.

All of Ukraine is under warning for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are tougher to spot.

Authorities told reporters that Moscow was intentionally trying to destroy the national power system, with strikes already impacting energy systems.

Officials stated energy workers and officials were bracing for additional strikes.
