During the night, Moscow's aerial assaults have caused electricity outages in multiple districts of the capital city, Kyiv.

Nine people were hurt while residents in eastern neighborhoods were experienced blackouts and dealt with disruption to drinking water, per reports from municipal leaders.

Meanwhile, a minor was killed in a separate aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia area in the country's south-east, based on information from local officials.

Russian forces has escalated attacks on power infrastructure over the past few days, while officials has requested "real steps" from allies to increase pressure on Moscow.

"What's needed is not symbolic gestures but decisive action - from the America, the EU and the major economies - in providing air defence systems and enforcing sanctions," mentioned in a public message.

Officials stated that numerous aerial vehicles and more than 30 missiles attacked the country's power systems, characterizing such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "critical infrastructure" as the weather cools.

Energy officials said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and technical staff were laboring to restore power.

A series of attacks struck electrical systems and apartment buildings in Kyiv.

Multiple people wounded in the strikes on the city have been taken to hospital, as confirmed by city authorities.

Regional authorities said the urban area came under heavy assaults during nighttime hours. A seven-year-old child died and three other people were wounded.

The assaults follow evenings of air raids in the region, sections of which are occupied by Moscow's military.

All of Ukraine is on alert for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are more difficult to detect.

National leaders told journalists that Russia was deliberately attempting to demolish the country's energy grid, with assaults already affecting fuel infrastructure.

Authorities confirmed utility staff and officials were anticipating more assaults.
