Overnight, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have resulted in power cuts in extensive areas of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.

Nine people were injured while local people in eastern neighborhoods were plunged into darkness and dealt with problems to water systems, per reports from city officials.

Meanwhile, a minor was fatally injured in a distinct Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia area in the country's south-east, according to local officials.

Russian forces has increased attacks on electrical systems over recent weeks, while the country's government has called for "substantial measures" from international partners to apply pressure on Moscow.

"What's needed is not superficial actions but decisive action - from the United States, Europe and the major economies - in delivering protection systems and enforcing sanctions," mentioned in a public message.

He said that 450 drones and several dozen rockets targeted the country's power systems, labeling such assaults as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as the weather cools.

Energy officials said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were working to fix the damage.

A series of attacks struck energy infrastructure and residential structures in Kyiv.

Area administrators said the metropolitan region experienced intense attacks throughout the evening. A young boy was killed and multiple civilians were injured.

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

The whole nation is in a state of readiness for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are tougher to identify.

National leaders told reporters that Russia was intentionally trying to damage the electrical infrastructure, with assaults already impacting fuel infrastructure.

Authorities confirmed technical personnel and officials were preparing for additional strikes.
