Overnight, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have resulted in electricity outages in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
Several individuals were hurt while residents in eastern neighborhoods were left without electricity and dealt with problems to drinking water, according to city officials.
Simultaneously, a young boy was killed in a different aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia area in the country's south-east, as reported by regional authorities.
Moscow has increased attacks on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while Ukrainian leadership has requested "substantial measures" from partner nations to apply pressure on Moscow.
"The necessity is not symbolic gestures but decisive action - from the US, European nations and the major economies - in providing defensive weapons and applying restrictions," he wrote in a social media post.
Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and several dozen rockets struck the country's power systems, labeling such assaults as "cynical and calculated" and against "critical infrastructure" as the weather cools.
Government representatives said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and repair crews were laboring to fix the damage.
A wave of strikes hit power facilities and civilian homes in the capital.
Several of the people wounded in the attacks on the capital have been hospitalized, according to city authorities.
Local officials said the metropolitan region endured intense attacks during nighttime hours. A minor died and several individuals were injured.
The attacks follow nights of air raids in the area, parts of which are currently controlled by Russian forces.
The entire country is on alert for advanced weapon attacks, which are more difficult to spot.
Government officials told reporters that Russia was deliberately attempting to damage the country's energy grid, with assaults already disrupting fuel infrastructure.
He said technical personnel and authorities were preparing for further attacks.
