Overnight, Moscow's aerial assaults have led to electricity outages in extensive areas of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were injured while inhabitants in eastern neighborhoods were plunged into darkness and faced problems to drinking water, according to municipal leaders.
At the same time, a young boy was lost their life in a separate Russian drone strike in the southeastern region in the country's south-east, according to local officials.
Moscow has intensified attacks on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while the country's government has requested "concrete actions" from allies to increase pressure on Moscow.
"The necessity is not superficial actions but decisive action - from the US, European nations and the major economies - in supplying defensive weapons and implementing sanctions," he wrote in a public message.
He said that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and more than 30 projectiles struck Ukraine's energy infrastructure, labeling such strikes as "strategic and deliberate" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as winter approaches.
The energy minister said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and technical staff were working to restore power.
A series of attacks hit electrical systems and apartment buildings in Kyiv.
Multiple people wounded in the assaults on the city have been hospitalized, per statements from city authorities.
Local officials said the city experienced intense attacks throughout the evening. A seven-year-old child lost their life and three other people were wounded.
The strikes come after periods of bombing campaigns in the area, sections of which are currently controlled by Russian forces.
All of Ukraine is on alert for advanced weapon attacks, which are harder to spot.
Authorities told reporters that Moscow was purposely seeking to demolish the country's energy grid, with assaults already disrupting energy systems.
