During the night, Russian missile and drone strikes have resulted in blackouts in large parts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.

Nine people were wounded while residents in eastern neighborhoods were experienced blackouts and faced problems to drinking water, according to municipal leaders.

Meanwhile, a young boy was fatally injured in a separate aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia area in the country's south-east, according to area administrators.

Moscow has increased attacks on energy facilities over recent weeks, while the country's government has demanded "substantial measures" from partner nations to increase pressure on Russia.

"What is required is not window dressing but decisive action - from the America, Europe and the G7 - in delivering defensive weapons and applying restrictions," he wrote in a public message.

Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and several dozen missiles targeted energy facilities, characterizing such strikes as "premeditated" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.

The energy minister said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were striving to fix the damage.

A wave of strikes hit power facilities and residential structures in the capital.

Multiple people injured in the attacks on the city have been hospitalized, as confirmed by local officials.

Area administrators said the metropolitan region came under heavy assaults during nighttime hours. A seven-year-old child was killed and several individuals were wounded.

The strikes succeed periods of bombing campaigns in the territory, portions of which are currently controlled by Moscow's military.

All of Ukraine is on alert for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are more difficult to identify.

Government officials told the media that Moscow was intentionally trying to damage the electrical infrastructure, with strikes already disrupting fuel infrastructure.

He said technical personnel and government agencies were bracing for further attacks.
