During the night, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have resulted in electricity outages in large parts of the capital city, Kyiv.

Several individuals were injured while inhabitants in the city's east were experienced blackouts and dealt with disruption to water systems, per reports from city officials.

At the same time, a seven-year-old child was killed in a different Russian drone strike in the southeastern region in the country's south-east, based on information from area administrators.

Moscow has increased strikes 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 symbolic gestures but firm measures - from the United States, the EU and the major economies - in supplying defensive weapons and applying penalties," mentioned in a online statement.

Authorities reported that 450 drones and more than 30 rockets targeted energy facilities, describing such strikes as "strategic and deliberate" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as winter approaches.

Government representatives said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were striving to fix the damage.

A wave of strikes hit energy infrastructure and apartment buildings in the capital.

Multiple people injured in the attacks on the city have been taken to hospital, as confirmed by city authorities.

Area administrators said the city endured intense attacks overnight. A young boy died and three other people were hurt.

The strikes come after periods of air raids in the territory, portions of which are occupied by invading troops.

The entire country is in a state of readiness for advanced weapon attacks, which are tougher to detect.

Government officials told the media that Russia was purposely seeking to damage the national power system, with assaults already disrupting fuel infrastructure.

Officials stated utility staff and officials were anticipating further attacks.
