Ukraine's energy systems have faced increased attacks in the past few days

Overnight, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have led to blackouts in multiple districts of the capital city, Kyiv.

Nine people were injured while inhabitants in the city's east were plunged into darkness and faced problems to drinking water, per reports from local authorities.

Meanwhile, a young boy was lost their life in a different aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia region in the country's south-east, based on information from local officials.

Russian forces has intensified strikes on electrical systems over recent weeks, while the country's government has demanded "concrete actions" from partner nations to exert influence on Russia.

"The necessity is not window dressing but strong steps - from the America, Europe and the Group of Seven - in providing defensive weapons and implementing sanctions," he wrote in a public message.

Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and several dozen rockets attacked energy facilities, describing such strikes as "strategic and deliberate" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.

Government representatives said Russia was "launching a major assault" and technical staff were working to restore power.

A series of attacks damaged power facilities and residential structures in the capital.

Five out of the nine people injured in the attacks on the city have been taken to hospital, according to municipal representatives.

Area administrators said the city experienced intense attacks throughout the evening. A minor lost their life and multiple civilians were wounded.

The attacks follow evenings of air raids in the territory, portions of which remain under the control of Russian forces.

All of Ukraine is in a state of readiness for advanced weapon attacks, which are tougher to detect.

National leaders told journalists that Moscow was deliberately attempting to damage the national power system, with assaults already impacting gas facilities.

Authorities confirmed energy workers and officials were preparing for more assaults.
