Throughout the evening, Moscow's aerial assaults have caused electricity outages in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
Nine people were injured while residents in the city's east were left without electricity and encountered interruptions to water supplies, per reports from local authorities.
Simultaneously, a young boy was fatally injured in a distinct assault in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southern area, based on information from area administrators.
Moscow has increased attacks on power infrastructure over the past few days, while Ukrainian leadership has demanded "concrete actions" from partner nations to exert influence on Russia.
"What is required is not superficial actions but firm measures - from the America, the EU and the Group of Seven - in providing protection systems and enforcing penalties," was stated in a public message.
He said that 450 drones and more than 30 projectiles targeted energy facilities, describing such strikes as "strategic and deliberate" and against "critical infrastructure" as the weather cools.
The energy minister said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and technical staff were laboring to fix the damage.
A series of attacks damaged power facilities and civilian homes in the capital.
Multiple people injured in the attacks on the city have been taken to hospital, per statements from city authorities.
Local officials said the urban area experienced heavy assaults during nighttime hours. A young boy was killed and multiple civilians were wounded.
The attacks follow nights of bombing campaigns in the region, parts of which are occupied by Russian forces.

Authorities told the media that Russia was deliberately attempting to demolish the electrical infrastructure, with assaults already impacting gas facilities.
Authorities confirmed utility staff and authorities were preparing for more assaults.
