Ukraine's power facilities have come under increased attacks in recent weeks

Throughout the evening, Russian missile and drone strikes have caused blackouts in large parts of the capital city, Kyiv.

Nine people were hurt while local people in eastern neighborhoods were left without electricity and encountered interruptions to water systems, as stated by municipal leaders.

Simultaneously, a seven-year-old child was fatally injured in a distinct aerial attack in the southeastern region in the southeastern part, based on information from local officials.

Russian forces has escalated assaults on electrical systems over the past few days, while the country's government has demanded "concrete actions" from international partners to exert influence on Russia.

"The necessity is not superficial actions but strong steps - from the United States, Europe and the G7 - in supplying air defence systems and implementing sanctions," he wrote in a social media post.

Officials stated that 450 drones and several dozen rockets targeted energy facilities, labeling such attacks as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as the weather cools.

Energy officials said Russia was "launching a major assault" and technical staff were striving to repair systems.

A series of attacks hit power facilities and apartment buildings in the capital.

Several of the people wounded in the attacks on the capital have been hospitalized, as confirmed by city authorities.

Local officials said the city endured intense attacks throughout the evening. A seven-year-old child died and several individuals were hurt.

The assaults succeed nights of aerial attacks in the territory, sections of which remain under the control of invading troops.

The whole nation is on alert for advanced weapon attacks, which are more difficult to identify.

Government officials told journalists that Moscow was purposely seeking to destroy the country's energy grid, with assaults already impacting fuel infrastructure.

He said energy workers and government agencies were preparing for additional strikes.
