Ukraine's energy systems have faced increased strikes in recent weeks

Overnight, Russian aerial assaults have led to blackouts in multiple districts of the capital city, Kyiv.

A number of civilians were wounded while inhabitants in eastern districts were left without electricity and encountered problems to water supplies, according to local authorities.

Meanwhile, a seven-year-old child was lost their life in a different Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southeastern part, as reported by area administrators.

Moscow has intensified assaults on power infrastructure over recent weeks, while officials has requested "concrete actions" from partner nations to apply pressure on Russia.

"The necessity is not superficial actions but strong steps - from the America, Europe and the major economies - in providing air defence systems and implementing restrictions," was stated in a online statement.

Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and several dozen missiles attacked the country's power systems, characterizing such strikes as "strategic and deliberate" and against "essential services" as winter approaches.

The energy minister said Russia was "launching a major assault" and repair crews were striving to fix the damage.

A series of attacks struck energy infrastructure and civilian homes in Kyiv.

Several of the people wounded in the attacks on the capital have been hospitalized, according to city authorities.

The attacks succeed periods of aerial attacks in the area, portions of which are occupied by invading troops.
