Ukraine's energy systems have come under increased attacks in recent weeks

Overnight, Russian missile and drone strikes have led to power cuts in large parts of the capital city, Kyiv.

Nine people were hurt while local people in eastern neighborhoods were experienced blackouts and faced disruption to drinking water, according to municipal leaders.

At the same time, a seven-year-old child was lost their life in a separate assault in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southeastern part, based on information from area administrators.

Russian forces has increased assaults on energy facilities over recent weeks, while the country's government has called for "real steps" from allies to apply pressure on Russia.

"What's needed is not superficial actions but firm measures - from the US, European nations and the major economies - in providing air defence systems and enforcing restrictions," was stated in a social media post.

Officials stated that 450 drones and over thirty missiles targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, labeling such attacks as "premeditated" and against "critical infrastructure" as the weather cools.

The energy minister said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and maintenance teams were laboring to restore power.

A series of attacks struck electrical systems and apartment buildings in the capital.

Multiple people hurt in the strikes on the city have been transported for medical care, according to municipal representatives.

Local officials said the city endured heavy assaults overnight. A young boy died and several individuals were hurt.

The attacks follow nights of bombing campaigns in the area, sections of which are currently controlled by Russian forces.

The whole nation is under warning for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are tougher to spot.

National leaders told the media that Moscow was intentionally trying to destroy the electrical infrastructure, with assaults already affecting fuel infrastructure.

Officials stated utility staff and government agencies were preparing for additional strikes.
