During the night, Moscow's aerial assaults have resulted in power cuts in extensive areas of the capital city, Kyiv.
Several individuals were hurt while residents in eastern districts were left without electricity and encountered problems to water supplies, per reports from city officials.
Simultaneously, a seven-year-old child was fatally injured in a separate Russian drone strike in the southeastern region in the southern area, as reported by local officials.
Moscow has intensified strikes on energy facilities over the past few days, while the country's government has requested "concrete actions" from partner nations to increase pressure on Moscow.
"The necessity is not superficial actions but decisive action - from the United States, European nations and the major economies - in delivering air defence systems and implementing penalties," he wrote in a public message.
Officials stated that numerous aerial vehicles and more than 30 projectiles targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, describing such assaults as "strategic and deliberate" and against "critical infrastructure" as winter approaches.
The energy minister said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were striving to restore power.
A barrage of missiles hit energy infrastructure and apartment buildings in Kyiv.
Several of the people hurt in the assaults on the capital have been transported for medical care, according to municipal representatives.
Local officials said the metropolitan region came under significant strikes throughout the evening. A young boy was killed and several individuals were wounded.
The assaults succeed evenings of air raids in the territory, parts of which remain under the control of Moscow's military.
All of Ukraine is on alert for advanced weapon attacks, which are tougher to spot.
Authorities told journalists that Moscow was deliberately attempting to destroy the electrical infrastructure, with strikes already impacting gas facilities.
He said technical personnel and government agencies were preparing for more assaults.
