Throughout the evening, Russian aerial assaults have led to electricity outages in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
A number of civilians were hurt while local people in eastern districts were plunged into darkness and faced problems to water systems, as stated by city officials.
Meanwhile, a seven-year-old child was fatally injured in a separate Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the country's south-east, as reported by area administrators.
Moscow has intensified attacks on power infrastructure over the past few days, while the country's government has called for "real steps" from international partners to apply pressure on Moscow.
"The necessity is not window dressing but decisive action - from the United States, European nations and the G7 - in delivering defensive weapons and applying penalties," mentioned in a online statement.
Officials stated that 450 drones and several dozen projectiles attacked energy facilities, labeling such attacks as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.
Government representatives said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and technical staff were striving to restore power.
A wave of strikes damaged electrical systems and apartment buildings in the capital.
Several of the people hurt in the strikes on the city have been taken to hospital, according to municipal representatives.
Area administrators said the urban area endured significant strikes during nighttime hours. A seven-year-old child was killed and three other people were injured.
The attacks succeed periods of bombing campaigns in the area, sections of which are occupied by invading troops.
The entire country is on alert for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are tougher to spot.
Authorities told reporters that Russia was intentionally trying to destroy the country's energy grid, with assaults already impacting gas facilities.
He said technical personnel and government agencies were anticipating further attacks.
