Overnight, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have caused power cuts in multiple districts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were wounded while local people in eastern neighborhoods were left without electricity and encountered interruptions to drinking water, according to municipal leaders.
Simultaneously, a minor was killed in a separate assault in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southeastern part, according to local officials.
Moscow has intensified attacks on electrical systems over the past few days, while Ukrainian leadership has called for "substantial measures" from allies to exert influence on Russia.
"The necessity is not symbolic gestures but decisive action - from the America, the EU and the Group of Seven - in providing protection systems and applying penalties," was stated in a public message.
He said that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and over thirty missiles attacked Ukraine's energy infrastructure, describing such strikes as "strategic and deliberate" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as winter approaches.
Government representatives said Russia was "launching a major assault" and repair crews were working to restore power.
A wave of strikes struck energy infrastructure and civilian homes in Kyiv.
Multiple people wounded in the assaults on the capital have been hospitalized, as confirmed by city authorities.
Local officials said the city experienced significant strikes overnight. A seven-year-old child died and several individuals were wounded.
The assaults succeed periods of aerial attacks in the region, parts of which are occupied by Russian forces.

Government officials told journalists that Moscow was purposely seeking to destroy the electrical infrastructure, with strikes already affecting energy systems.
He said technical personnel and government agencies were bracing for further attacks.
