During the night, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have led to power cuts in multiple districts of the capital city, Kyiv.
A number of civilians were hurt while inhabitants in eastern neighborhoods were plunged into darkness and encountered disruption to drinking water, according to city officials.
Simultaneously, a minor was fatally injured in a separate aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southern area, according to regional authorities.
Moscow has intensified strikes on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while the country's government has requested "concrete actions" from allies to apply pressure on Moscow.
"The necessity is not window dressing but firm measures - from the America, Europe and the major economies - in providing protection systems and enforcing penalties," was stated in a social media post.
Officials stated that numerous aerial vehicles and over thirty projectiles targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, describing such assaults as "premeditated" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.
The energy minister said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were laboring to repair systems.
A series of attacks struck electrical systems and apartment buildings in the capital.
Five out of the nine people hurt in the strikes on the city have been transported for medical care, per statements from municipal representatives.
Regional authorities said the urban area experienced intense attacks throughout the evening. A minor died and three other people were hurt.
The assaults come after evenings of air raids in the territory, portions of which are occupied by invading troops.
All of Ukraine is on alert for advanced weapon attacks, which are more difficult to identify.
Authorities told journalists that Russia was intentionally trying to damage the country's energy grid, with strikes already affecting fuel infrastructure.
Authorities confirmed energy workers and government agencies were anticipating additional strikes.
