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

During the night, Russian missile and drone strikes have caused blackouts in large parts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.

Several individuals were injured while inhabitants in the city's east were experienced blackouts and faced problems to water supplies, according to municipal leaders.

At the same time, a minor was killed in a different assault in the Zaporizhzhia area in the country's south-east, according to local officials.

Moscow has increased assaults on energy facilities over the last fortnight, while officials has requested "substantial measures" from allies to increase pressure on Moscow.

"What is required is not symbolic gestures but firm measures - from the America, the EU and the Group of Seven - in providing air defence systems and applying sanctions," he wrote in a public message.

He said that numerous aerial vehicles and more than 30 rockets attacked the country's power systems, labeling such attacks as "premeditated" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.

Government representatives said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and repair crews were striving to repair systems.

A barrage of missiles struck electrical systems and residential structures in the capital.

Multiple people injured in the assaults on the capital have been taken to hospital, per statements from city authorities.

Local officials said the urban area experienced intense attacks overnight. A minor lost their life and three other people were wounded.

The attacks follow periods of aerial attacks in the region, parts of which are currently controlled by Moscow's military.

The whole nation is under warning for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are harder to spot.

Authorities told reporters that Moscow was purposely seeking to damage the electrical infrastructure, with attacks already disrupting energy systems.

Officials stated utility staff and officials were bracing for more assaults.
