Throughout the evening, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have resulted in power cuts in extensive areas of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.

Nine people were hurt while local people in the city's east were left without electricity and encountered problems to water supplies, per reports from municipal leaders.

At the same time, a young boy was lost their life in a separate Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the country's south-east, according to local officials.

Russian forces has increased strikes on electrical systems over the past few days, while the country's government has requested "concrete actions" from partner nations to apply pressure on Moscow.

"What is required is not superficial actions but decisive action - from the US, Europe and the G7 - in delivering protection systems and enforcing penalties," he wrote in a social media post.

Authorities reported that numerous aerial vehicles and over thirty missiles targeted the country's power systems, characterizing such assaults as "premeditated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as winter approaches.

Energy officials said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and repair crews were striving to repair systems.

A series of attacks hit electrical systems and civilian homes in Kyiv.

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

Local officials said the city experienced intense attacks overnight. A minor died and several individuals were wounded.

The assaults come after evenings of aerial attacks in the region, parts of which are currently controlled by invading troops.

All of Ukraine is under warning for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are more difficult to identify.

Government officials told the media that Russia was intentionally trying to damage the electrical infrastructure, with assaults already disrupting energy systems.

He said utility staff and officials were anticipating further attacks.
