Overnight, Russian missile and drone strikes have led to blackouts in large parts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
A number of civilians were hurt while inhabitants in the city's east were experienced blackouts and dealt with problems to water supplies, per reports from city officials.
Simultaneously, a seven-year-old child was killed in a different assault in the Zaporizhzhia area in the country's south-east, as reported by area administrators.
Moscow has increased assaults on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while the country's government has called for "substantial measures" from partner nations to apply pressure on Russia.
"What is required is not window dressing but firm measures - from the US, the EU and the G7 - in delivering defensive weapons and enforcing restrictions," was stated in a public message.
Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and over thirty rockets attacked the country's power systems, describing such assaults as "strategic and deliberate" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.
Energy officials said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and maintenance teams were working to repair systems.
A series of attacks hit power facilities and apartment buildings in Kyiv.
Five out of the nine people wounded in the strikes on the city have been transported for medical care, according to local officials.
Local officials said the city endured intense attacks overnight. A seven-year-old child died and multiple civilians were wounded.
The assaults follow evenings of air raids in the region, parts of which are occupied by Moscow's military.
The whole nation is on alert for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are more difficult to detect.
Government officials told reporters that Moscow was intentionally trying to destroy the electrical infrastructure, with strikes already disrupting energy systems.
Officials stated utility staff and authorities were preparing for further attacks.
