During the night, Moscow's aerial assaults have led to power cuts in multiple districts of the capital city, Kyiv.
Nine people were hurt while local people in eastern neighborhoods were plunged into darkness and encountered problems to water supplies, per reports from local authorities.
Simultaneously, a minor was lost their life in a separate assault in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southern area, based on information from regional authorities.
Moscow has escalated strikes on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while officials has demanded "substantial measures" from allies to apply pressure on Russia.
"What is required is not window dressing but firm measures - from the US, the EU and the Group of Seven - in providing air defence systems and enforcing restrictions," mentioned in a public message.
Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and several dozen projectiles struck the country's power systems, characterizing such assaults as "strategic and deliberate" and against "critical infrastructure" as the weather cools.
Government representatives said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and maintenance teams were working to repair systems.
A barrage of missiles hit electrical systems and civilian homes in Kyiv.
Five out of the nine people injured in the assaults on the capital have been taken to hospital, as confirmed by municipal representatives.
Local officials said the urban area came under intense attacks during nighttime hours. A minor was killed and multiple civilians were wounded.
The strikes follow nights of bombing campaigns in the area, portions of which are occupied by Russian forces.
The entire country is under warning for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are tougher to spot.
Authorities told the media that Moscow was purposely seeking to damage the national power system, with attacks already impacting gas facilities.
Officials stated utility staff and authorities were anticipating additional strikes.
