Overnight, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have resulted in blackouts in large parts of the capital city, Kyiv.

Several individuals were wounded while local people in eastern districts were left without electricity and encountered disruption to water supplies, as stated by city officials.

Simultaneously, a seven-year-old child was fatally injured in a different assault in the southeastern region in the country's south-east, based on information from regional authorities.

Moscow has intensified attacks on electrical systems over the past few days, while Ukrainian leadership has requested "concrete actions" from allies to apply pressure on Moscow.

"The necessity is not superficial actions but decisive action - from the United States, the EU and the Group of Seven - in supplying protection systems and applying restrictions," he wrote in a social media post.

He said that 450 drones and several dozen rockets struck energy facilities, characterizing such attacks as "premeditated" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.

Government representatives said Russia was "inflicting a massive strike" and technical staff were striving to fix the damage.

A wave of strikes struck energy infrastructure and residential structures in Kyiv.

Multiple people wounded in the attacks on the capital have been hospitalized, per statements from local officials.

Regional authorities said the metropolitan region endured heavy assaults overnight. A seven-year-old child lost their life and several individuals were hurt.

The assaults follow evenings of aerial attacks in the area, sections of which remain under the control of invading troops.

The entire country is under warning for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are harder to identify.

National leaders told the media that Russia was deliberately attempting to demolish the country's energy grid, with attacks already disrupting energy systems.
