The country's energy systems have come under escalating strikes in recent weeks

Overnight, Moscow's aerial assaults have caused electricity outages in multiple districts of the capital city, Kyiv.

Several individuals were hurt while local people in the city's east were left without electricity and dealt with interruptions to water supplies, according to city officials.

At the same time, a seven-year-old child was killed in a separate assault in the Zaporizhzhia region in the country's south-east, as reported by local officials.

Russian forces has intensified attacks on electrical systems over recent weeks, while Ukrainian leadership has requested "substantial measures" from allies to exert influence on Moscow.

"What's needed is not window dressing but firm measures - from the United States, the EU and the Group of Seven - in delivering air defence systems and enforcing penalties," was stated in a public message.

Authorities reported that 450 drones and over thirty missiles struck the country's power systems, characterizing such strikes as "premeditated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as winter approaches.

Government representatives said Moscow was "launching a major assault" and repair crews were working to restore power.

A series of attacks struck energy infrastructure and civilian homes in the capital.

Several of the people wounded in the assaults on the capital have been taken to hospital, as confirmed by city authorities.

Regional authorities said the metropolitan region experienced intense attacks throughout the evening. A young boy lost their life and several individuals were injured.

The assaults succeed nights of air raids in the territory, parts of which are occupied by Russian forces.

The entire country is on alert for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are more difficult to detect.

National leaders told the media that Moscow was purposely seeking to demolish the country's energy grid, with strikes already disrupting gas facilities.

Authorities confirmed utility staff and officials were preparing for additional strikes.
