Overnight, Moscow's aerial assaults have resulted in blackouts in extensive areas of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were hurt while residents in eastern districts were experienced blackouts and faced disruption to water supplies, according to municipal leaders.
At the same time, a seven-year-old child was killed in a different Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southeastern part, as reported by regional authorities.
Moscow has increased assaults on power infrastructure over the past few days, while Ukrainian leadership has demanded "real steps" from partner nations to increase pressure on Russia.
"What's needed is not symbolic gestures but firm measures - from the United States, European nations and the major economies - in delivering defensive weapons and applying penalties," was stated in a public message.
He said that 450 drones and several dozen projectiles attacked Ukraine's energy infrastructure, describing such strikes as "strategic and deliberate" and against "essential services" as the weather cools.
The energy minister said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were striving to restore power.
A barrage of missiles struck electrical systems and residential structures in the capital.
Several of the people hurt in the strikes on the city have been hospitalized, as confirmed by city authorities.
Area administrators said the urban area experienced significant strikes during nighttime hours. A seven-year-old child was killed and multiple civilians were hurt.
The strikes come after nights of bombing campaigns in the area, portions of which are occupied by Moscow's military.
The entire country is on alert for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are harder to identify.
Government officials told the media that Moscow was purposely seeking to damage the country's energy grid, with assaults already affecting gas facilities.
Authorities confirmed energy workers and officials were anticipating further attacks.
