Overnight, Russian missile and drone strikes have resulted in blackouts in multiple districts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.

Several individuals were wounded while inhabitants in the city's east were plunged into darkness and faced problems to drinking water, as stated by city officials.

Simultaneously, a seven-year-old child was killed in a distinct aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southern area, according to area administrators.

Moscow has intensified attacks on power infrastructure over the past few days, while officials has requested "real steps" from international partners to increase pressure on Moscow.

"What's needed is not superficial actions but firm measures - from the US, the EU and the Group of Seven - in providing air defence systems and implementing penalties," he wrote in a social media post.

Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and several dozen missiles targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, characterizing such attacks as "cynical and calculated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.

Energy officials said Russia was "inflicting a massive strike" and maintenance teams were laboring to fix the damage.

Regional authorities said the metropolitan region endured significant strikes throughout the evening. A young boy lost their life and several individuals were injured.

The attacks come after evenings of aerial attacks in the region, sections of which are currently controlled by Moscow's military.

The whole nation is on alert for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are more difficult to identify.
