During the night, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have led to power cuts in multiple districts of the capital city, Kyiv.

Several individuals were injured while local people in the city's east were plunged into darkness and encountered problems to drinking water, as stated by local authorities.

Meanwhile, a minor was killed in a separate aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia area in the country's south-east, as reported by area administrators.

Moscow has increased strikes on electrical systems over the last fortnight, while officials has demanded "substantial measures" from partner nations to exert influence on Moscow.

"The necessity is not window dressing but firm measures - from the US, Europe and the major economies - in supplying defensive weapons and applying restrictions," mentioned in a public message.

Officials stated that 450 drones and several dozen projectiles struck the country's power systems, describing such assaults as "cynical and calculated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.

The energy minister said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and repair crews were working to repair systems.

A barrage of missiles hit energy infrastructure and apartment buildings in the capital.

Multiple people injured in the strikes on the capital have been hospitalized, as confirmed by local officials.

Area administrators said the metropolitan region endured intense attacks during nighttime hours. A minor lost their life and several individuals were injured.

The attacks come after periods of aerial attacks in the territory, portions of which are currently controlled by invading troops.

All of Ukraine is in a state of readiness for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are harder to identify.

Authorities told the media that Moscow was purposely seeking to damage the national power system, with strikes already disrupting fuel infrastructure.

Officials stated utility staff and authorities were bracing for further attacks.
