Throughout the evening, Russian aerial assaults have caused electricity outages in large parts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.

Several individuals were wounded while residents in eastern neighborhoods were left without electricity and faced disruption to water supplies, as stated by municipal leaders.

Meanwhile, a young boy was killed in a different Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southern area, based on information from local officials.

Moscow has intensified assaults on energy facilities over the last fortnight, while the country's government has called for "real steps" from allies to increase pressure on Moscow.

"The necessity is not window dressing but decisive action - from the United States, Europe and the major economies - in supplying air defence systems and enforcing restrictions," was stated in a online statement.

He said that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and over thirty missiles attacked energy facilities, labeling such strikes as "strategic and deliberate" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.

Energy officials said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and maintenance teams were laboring to restore power.

A barrage of missiles struck energy infrastructure and residential structures in Kyiv.

Several of the people hurt in the strikes on the city have been taken to hospital, as confirmed by local officials.

Regional authorities said the city endured intense attacks overnight. A seven-year-old child died and multiple civilians were hurt.

The strikes come after periods of bombing campaigns in the territory, sections of which are occupied by Moscow's military.

The whole nation is in a state of readiness for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are more difficult to identify.

Government officials told reporters that Moscow was purposely seeking to demolish the electrical infrastructure, with attacks already disrupting gas facilities.

He said energy workers and authorities were bracing for further attacks.
