Throughout the evening, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have caused power cuts in extensive areas of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.

Nine people were hurt while local people in eastern districts were left without electricity and faced interruptions to drinking water, per reports from local authorities.

At the same time, a young boy was fatally injured in a different aerial attack in the southeastern region in the southern area, as reported by area administrators.

Russian forces has increased assaults on electrical systems over the last fortnight, while Ukrainian leadership has called for "concrete actions" from allies to increase pressure on Moscow.

"What is required is not symbolic gestures but firm measures - from the America, Europe and the major economies - in delivering air defence systems and enforcing restrictions," mentioned in a social media post.

He said that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and more than 30 projectiles targeted energy facilities, characterizing such attacks as "strategic and deliberate" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as winter approaches.

Energy officials said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were working to repair systems.

A wave of strikes damaged power facilities and civilian homes in the capital.

Multiple people hurt in the attacks on the capital have been taken to hospital, as confirmed by municipal representatives.

Local officials said the metropolitan region endured significant strikes overnight. A seven-year-old child lost their life and multiple civilians were hurt.

The assaults follow nights of air raids in the territory, parts of which are currently controlled by Russian forces.

All of Ukraine is under warning for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are tougher to identify.

Government officials told journalists that Moscow was intentionally trying to damage the national power system, with attacks already impacting energy systems.

He said technical personnel and officials were anticipating further attacks.
