During the night, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have caused blackouts in multiple districts of the capital city, Kyiv.
A number of civilians were hurt while local people in eastern neighborhoods were left without electricity and faced interruptions to drinking water, according to municipal leaders.
Meanwhile, a young boy was fatally injured in a different Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southern area, according to regional authorities.
Moscow has escalated attacks on energy facilities over the past few days, while Ukrainian leadership has demanded "substantial measures" from allies to increase pressure on Moscow.
"The necessity is not superficial actions but decisive action - from the America, Europe and the G7 - in supplying air defence systems and implementing penalties," was stated in a public message.
Officials stated that 450 drones and several dozen rockets targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, characterizing such strikes as "premeditated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as the weather cools.
The energy minister said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and maintenance teams were laboring to restore power.
A wave of strikes damaged power facilities and apartment buildings in the capital.
Five out of the nine people injured in the strikes on the city have been taken to hospital, according to municipal representatives.
Local officials said the metropolitan region experienced significant strikes during nighttime hours. A young boy lost their life and several individuals were wounded.
The strikes succeed nights of bombing campaigns in the territory, portions of which remain under the control of invading troops.
The whole nation is under warning for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are tougher to detect.
Authorities told the media that Russia was intentionally trying to destroy the electrical infrastructure, with strikes already impacting gas facilities.
Officials stated energy workers and government agencies were bracing for more assaults.
