During the night, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have caused power cuts in large parts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.

A number of civilians were wounded while residents in eastern neighborhoods were experienced blackouts and encountered problems to water systems, according to local authorities.

Meanwhile, a young boy was killed in a separate Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southeastern part, as reported by regional authorities.

Russian forces has increased strikes on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while Ukrainian leadership has demanded "substantial measures" from partner nations to increase pressure on Russia.

"The necessity is not window dressing but strong steps - from the United States, the EU and the G7 - in supplying defensive weapons and enforcing penalties," mentioned in a online statement.

Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and over thirty missiles attacked Ukraine's energy infrastructure, describing such assaults as "strategic and deliberate" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.

Government representatives said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and technical staff were striving to restore power.

A series of attacks damaged power facilities and civilian homes in the capital.

Multiple people injured in the attacks on the city have been transported for medical care, per statements from municipal representatives.

Area administrators said the city endured significant strikes overnight. A young boy lost their life and three other people were wounded.

The assaults succeed periods of aerial attacks in the region, sections of which remain under the control of Russian forces.

The whole nation is in a state of readiness for advanced weapon attacks, which are more difficult to identify.

Government officials told the media that Moscow was deliberately attempting to destroy the national power system, with assaults already impacting fuel infrastructure.

Officials stated technical personnel and officials were bracing for additional strikes.
