Several individuals were hurt while residents in eastern districts were plunged into darkness and faced problems to drinking water, per reports from municipal leaders.

At the same time, a young boy was killed in a different assault in the southeastern region in the southern area, according to area administrators.

Russian forces has increased strikes on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while the country's government has demanded "real steps" from allies to exert influence on Moscow.

"The necessity is not superficial actions but decisive action - from the America, European nations and the major economies - in delivering defensive weapons and enforcing restrictions," was stated in a social media post.

Officials stated that 450 drones and over thirty projectiles targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, labeling such assaults as "premeditated" and against "essential services" as the weather cools.

Government representatives said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were laboring to fix the damage.

A wave of strikes damaged energy infrastructure and apartment buildings in Kyiv.

Multiple people hurt in the strikes on the capital have been taken to hospital, according to municipal representatives.

Local officials said the city came under intense attacks overnight. A minor died and several individuals were wounded.

The strikes succeed nights of aerial attacks in the area, parts of which remain under the control of Russian forces.

All of Ukraine is under warning for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are harder to identify.

Government officials told reporters that Moscow was intentionally trying to destroy the national power system, with assaults already affecting gas facilities.

Authorities confirmed energy workers and government agencies were anticipating further attacks.
