Throughout the evening, Moscow's aerial assaults have led to power cuts in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
Several individuals were wounded while local people in the city's east were plunged into darkness and encountered disruption to water supplies, per reports from local authorities.
At the same time, a seven-year-old child was killed in a different Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the country's south-east, according to area administrators.
Moscow has intensified assaults on power infrastructure over the past few days, while officials has demanded "substantial measures" from partner nations to increase pressure on Russia.
"What's needed is not window dressing but decisive action - from the United States, European nations and the major economies - in supplying air defence systems and enforcing restrictions," mentioned in a online statement.
Authorities reported that numerous aerial vehicles and several dozen projectiles attacked Ukraine's energy infrastructure, describing such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as the weather cools.
Energy officials said Russia was "launching a major assault" and repair crews were striving to fix the damage.
A barrage of missiles hit power facilities and apartment buildings in Kyiv.
Five out of the nine people hurt in the attacks on the city have been transported for medical care, according to municipal representatives.
Regional authorities said the urban area came under intense attacks throughout the evening. A seven-year-old child lost their life and multiple civilians were hurt.
The attacks follow evenings of aerial attacks in the territory, sections of which are currently controlled by invading troops.
All of Ukraine is under warning for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are harder to detect.
Government officials told the media that Moscow was purposely seeking to destroy the country's energy grid, with assaults already affecting fuel infrastructure.
