During the night, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have caused electricity outages in extensive areas of the capital city, Kyiv.
Nine people were wounded while residents in the city's east were plunged into darkness and faced interruptions to water supplies, as stated by city officials.
At the same time, a young boy was lost their life in a different aerial attack in the southeastern region in the country's south-east, according to area administrators.
Moscow has increased attacks on power infrastructure over the past few days, while Ukrainian leadership has requested "concrete actions" from international partners to increase pressure on Russia.
"The necessity is not superficial actions but strong steps - from the United States, European nations and the major economies - in supplying protection systems and applying penalties," was stated in a social media post.
He said that numerous aerial vehicles and over thirty projectiles struck energy facilities, characterizing such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as the weather cools.
The energy minister said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and maintenance teams were laboring to fix the damage.
A barrage of missiles hit energy infrastructure and civilian homes in the capital.
Multiple people wounded in the attacks on the capital have been transported for medical care, per statements from local officials.
Area administrators said the city came under heavy assaults during nighttime hours. A seven-year-old child lost their life and several individuals were hurt.
The attacks come after periods of bombing campaigns in the territory, portions of which remain under the control of Russian forces.
All of Ukraine is under warning for advanced weapon attacks, which are more difficult to spot.
National leaders told reporters that Russia was deliberately attempting to destroy the country's energy grid, with assaults already disrupting fuel infrastructure.
Authorities confirmed energy workers and officials were preparing for more assaults.
