Overnight, Russian aerial assaults have led to electricity outages in extensive areas of the capital city, Kyiv.

A number of civilians were injured while local people in eastern districts were plunged into darkness and faced problems to water systems, as stated by city officials.

Meanwhile, a minor was lost their life in a separate aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southern area, according to area administrators.

Russian forces has escalated attacks on electrical systems over the past few days, while officials has requested "substantial measures" from partner nations to apply pressure on Moscow.

"What is required is not superficial actions but firm measures - from the United States, the EU and the Group of Seven - in supplying air defence systems and applying penalties," was stated in a public message.

Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and several dozen projectiles attacked energy facilities, labeling such strikes as "premeditated" and against "essential services" as the weather cools.

Government representatives said Moscow was "launching a major assault" and repair crews were striving to fix the damage.

A wave of strikes struck electrical systems and civilian homes in the capital.

Five out of the nine people wounded in the attacks on the city have been taken to hospital, as confirmed by city authorities.
