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

A number of civilians were hurt while residents in eastern districts were experienced blackouts and dealt with problems to drinking water, as stated by local authorities.

Meanwhile, a young boy was lost their life in a different aerial attack in the southeastern region in the southern area, according to local officials.

Moscow has increased attacks on electrical systems over the last fortnight, while the country's government has demanded "substantial measures" from partner nations to exert influence on Moscow.

"What's needed is not superficial actions but decisive action - from the America, Europe and the major economies - in delivering defensive weapons and implementing sanctions," he wrote in a public message.

He said that 450 drones and several dozen missiles targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, labeling such attacks as "premeditated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.

Government representatives said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were laboring to restore power.

A barrage of missiles struck power facilities and residential structures in Kyiv.

Multiple people hurt in the attacks on the capital have been hospitalized, per statements from local officials.

Local officials said the metropolitan region came under significant strikes overnight. A minor was killed and multiple civilians were wounded.

The strikes follow evenings of air raids in the territory, parts of which remain under the control of invading troops.

All of Ukraine is in a state of readiness for advanced weapon attacks, which are more difficult to detect.

National leaders told reporters that Russia was purposely seeking to demolish the country's energy grid, with strikes already affecting gas facilities.

Authorities confirmed utility staff and government agencies were anticipating further attacks.
