During the night, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have resulted in blackouts in large parts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
Several individuals were hurt while residents in the city's east were experienced blackouts and faced disruption to water supplies, per reports from local authorities.
At the same time, a minor was fatally injured in a different Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia area in the country's south-east, according to regional authorities.
Moscow has intensified assaults on electrical systems over recent weeks, while Ukrainian leadership has called for "substantial measures" from international partners to increase pressure on Russia.
"The necessity is not superficial actions but strong steps - from the United States, European nations and the major economies - in providing air defence systems and applying penalties," was stated in a public message.
He said that numerous aerial vehicles and several dozen missiles struck Ukraine's energy infrastructure, describing such strikes as "premeditated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as winter approaches.
The energy minister said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were striving to repair systems.
A wave of strikes damaged electrical systems and residential structures in the capital.
Several of the people injured in the assaults on the city have been transported for medical care, per statements from local officials.
Area administrators said the urban area endured intense attacks overnight. A seven-year-old child died and multiple civilians were hurt.
The assaults succeed nights of air raids in the territory, portions of which are occupied by Russian forces.
All of Ukraine is in a state of readiness for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are tougher to spot.
National leaders told journalists that Moscow was intentionally trying to destroy the country's energy grid, with attacks already disrupting fuel infrastructure.
He said utility staff and officials were preparing for more assaults.
