The country's energy systems have come under increased strikes in the past few days

Throughout the evening, Russian aerial assaults have caused power cuts in large parts of the capital city, Kyiv.

A number of civilians were injured while inhabitants in the city's east were plunged into darkness and encountered disruption to drinking water, according to local authorities.

Meanwhile, a minor was lost their life in a different assault in the Zaporizhzhia region in the country's south-east, according to area administrators.

Moscow has escalated assaults on electrical systems over the last fortnight, while officials 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 America, the EU and the Group of Seven - in delivering defensive weapons and implementing sanctions," he wrote in a online statement.

Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and several dozen rockets attacked energy facilities, describing such assaults as "cynical and calculated" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.

Government representatives said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and repair crews were working to repair systems.

A wave of strikes hit electrical systems and apartment buildings in Kyiv.

Multiple people wounded in the attacks on the capital have been hospitalized, as confirmed by municipal representatives.

Regional authorities said the urban area experienced significant strikes overnight. A young boy was killed and several individuals were injured.

The attacks follow evenings of aerial attacks in the region, portions of which are currently controlled by Russian forces.

The entire country is on alert for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are harder to spot.

National leaders told the media that Moscow was intentionally trying to destroy the electrical infrastructure, with attacks already affecting fuel infrastructure.

Officials stated energy workers and government agencies were anticipating more assaults.
