Throughout the evening, Russian missile and drone strikes have caused electricity outages in large parts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.

A number of civilians were wounded while local people in eastern districts were plunged into darkness and encountered disruption to drinking water, according to local authorities.

At the same time, a minor was killed in a different assault in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southeastern part, as reported by regional authorities.

Russian forces has intensified assaults on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while officials has called for "concrete actions" from partner nations to apply pressure on Russia.

"What is required is not superficial actions but decisive action - from the US, European nations and the major economies - in delivering defensive weapons and enforcing penalties," was stated in a social media post.

Officials stated that 450 drones and more than 30 rockets struck the country's power systems, labeling such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.

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

A wave of strikes struck electrical systems and apartment buildings in the capital.

Multiple people hurt in the assaults on the capital have been taken to hospital, as confirmed by city authorities.

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

The strikes come after periods of aerial attacks in the area, parts of which are occupied by Moscow's military.

The entire country is in a state of readiness for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are tougher to detect.

Government officials told the media that Moscow was purposely seeking to demolish the national power system, with assaults already disrupting gas facilities.

Authorities confirmed energy workers and officials were preparing for additional strikes.
