During the night, Moscow's aerial assaults have resulted in blackouts in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.

Several individuals were injured while residents in eastern neighborhoods were left without electricity and faced interruptions to water supplies, as stated by municipal leaders.

At the same time, a young boy was fatally injured in a separate Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southern area, based on information from regional authorities.

Moscow has intensified assaults on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while officials has called for "substantial measures" from partner nations to apply pressure on Russia.

"What's needed is not window dressing but firm measures - from the United States, Europe and the G7 - in providing defensive weapons and enforcing sanctions," was stated in a social media post.

He said that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and over thirty projectiles struck the country's power systems, labeling such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as the weather cools.

Energy officials said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and technical staff were working to restore power.

A series of attacks struck power facilities and civilian homes in Kyiv.

Several of the people hurt in the assaults on the capital have been taken to hospital, per statements from local officials.

Area administrators said the city experienced significant strikes overnight. A seven-year-old child was killed and multiple civilians were injured.

The attacks follow nights of air raids in the region, parts of which are currently controlled by invading troops.

The whole nation is under warning for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are harder to detect.

Government officials told reporters that Moscow was intentionally trying to destroy the country's energy grid, with strikes already disrupting fuel infrastructure.

Officials stated energy workers and government agencies were anticipating additional strikes.
