Throughout the evening, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have resulted in electricity outages in multiple districts of the capital city, Kyiv.
Nine people were wounded while inhabitants in eastern neighborhoods were left without electricity and encountered problems to water supplies, as stated by city officials.
Simultaneously, a young boy was lost their life in a different aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia region in the country's south-east, based on information from regional authorities.
Moscow has escalated strikes on electrical systems over the last fortnight, while the country's government has demanded "real steps" from allies to apply pressure on Moscow.
"What's needed is not window dressing but decisive action - from the US, Europe and the Group of Seven - in supplying protection systems and applying penalties," he wrote in a social media post.
He said that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and over thirty rockets struck Ukraine's energy infrastructure, labeling such attacks as "strategic and deliberate" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as winter approaches.
The energy minister said Russia was "launching a major assault" and maintenance teams were striving to restore power.
A barrage of missiles struck power facilities and residential structures in the capital.
Several of the people hurt in the attacks on the city have been transported for medical care, per statements from municipal representatives.
Regional authorities said the urban area experienced significant strikes throughout the evening. A minor was killed and several individuals were injured.
The strikes follow periods of bombing campaigns in the area, sections of which remain under the control of Russian forces.
All of Ukraine is under warning for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are more difficult to detect.
Government officials told the media that Russia was deliberately attempting to destroy the electrical infrastructure, with strikes already impacting fuel infrastructure.
Officials stated utility staff and government agencies were anticipating further attacks.
