During the night, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have caused electricity outages in large parts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.

Several individuals were wounded while residents in the city's east were experienced blackouts and encountered interruptions to drinking water, according to local authorities.

Meanwhile, a young boy was killed in a separate aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southeastern part, according to area administrators.

Russian forces has increased attacks on power infrastructure over the past few days, while the country's government has requested "concrete actions" from partner nations to apply pressure on Moscow.

"What's needed is not superficial actions but strong steps - from the US, the EU and the G7 - in providing defensive weapons and applying penalties," he wrote in a public message.

He said that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and several dozen missiles targeted energy facilities, describing such assaults as "strategic and deliberate" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.

Energy officials said Moscow was "launching a major assault" and technical staff were striving to fix the damage.

A series of attacks damaged energy infrastructure and apartment buildings in Kyiv.

Several of the people injured in the attacks on the capital have been transported for medical care, per statements from city authorities.

Local officials said the urban area came under heavy assaults during nighttime hours. A seven-year-old child was killed and several individuals were wounded.

The attacks come after periods of bombing campaigns in the territory, sections of which remain under the control of Russian forces.

The whole nation is in a state of readiness for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are harder to spot.

National leaders told reporters that Russia was purposely seeking to demolish the electrical infrastructure, with attacks already impacting fuel infrastructure.

Authorities confirmed energy workers and government agencies were anticipating further attacks.
