During the night, Moscow's aerial assaults have resulted in blackouts in large parts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.

Several individuals were hurt while residents in eastern neighborhoods were plunged into darkness and encountered problems to drinking water, as stated by municipal leaders.

Meanwhile, a young boy was lost their life in a separate Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia area in the country's south-east, based on information from regional authorities.

Moscow has intensified assaults on power infrastructure over the past few days, while Ukrainian leadership has requested "concrete actions" from allies to exert influence on Russia.

"What is required is not window dressing but decisive action - from the America, the EU and the Group of Seven - in providing protection systems and applying restrictions," he wrote in a social media post.

He said that 450 drones and several dozen rockets attacked Ukraine's energy infrastructure, characterizing such assaults as "premeditated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as the weather cools.

Energy officials said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and technical staff were working to restore power.

A series of attacks hit energy infrastructure and apartment buildings in Kyiv.

Five out of the nine people injured in the attacks on the capital have been taken to hospital, per statements from local officials.

Area administrators said the city experienced heavy assaults overnight. A seven-year-old child died and several individuals were hurt.

The assaults succeed nights of bombing campaigns in the territory, sections of which are currently controlled by invading troops.
