During the night, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have caused power cuts in extensive areas of the capital city, Kyiv.
Nine people were hurt while residents in eastern districts were plunged into darkness and encountered interruptions to drinking water, as stated by local authorities.
Simultaneously, a young boy was killed in a different aerial attack in the southeastern region in the country's south-east, as reported by area administrators.
Moscow has intensified strikes on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while officials has called for "substantial measures" from international partners to apply pressure on Russia.
"What is required is not window dressing but decisive action - from the United States, the EU and the major economies - in supplying defensive weapons and implementing restrictions," mentioned in a social media post.
Officials stated that 450 drones and several dozen projectiles targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, characterizing such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "critical infrastructure" as winter approaches.
The energy minister said Russia was "launching a major assault" and maintenance teams were working to restore power.
A wave of strikes hit power facilities and civilian homes in Kyiv.
Several of the people hurt in the attacks on the city have been taken to hospital, per statements from city authorities.
Local officials said the city experienced significant strikes throughout the evening. A young boy lost their life and three other people were hurt.
The strikes come after periods of air raids in the territory, parts of which remain under the control of Russian forces.
The whole nation is on alert for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are harder to spot.
Government officials told reporters that Moscow was purposely seeking to destroy the electrical infrastructure, with assaults already affecting fuel infrastructure.
Officials stated utility staff and authorities were preparing for additional strikes.
