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

Overnight, Russian aerial assaults have resulted in blackouts in large parts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.

Several individuals were injured while local people in eastern districts were plunged into darkness and encountered disruption to water supplies, per reports from municipal leaders.

Meanwhile, a seven-year-old child was fatally injured in a separate assault in the Zaporizhzhia area in the country's south-east, according to local officials.

Moscow has intensified attacks on power infrastructure over recent weeks, while officials has called for "concrete actions" from partner nations to apply pressure on Moscow.

"What's needed is not symbolic gestures but strong steps - from the United States, the EU and the G7 - in providing defensive weapons and implementing restrictions," was stated in a online statement.

Officials stated that 450 drones and more than 30 missiles targeted energy facilities, characterizing such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as winter approaches.

The energy minister said Moscow was "launching a major assault" and maintenance teams were striving to fix the damage.

A series of attacks hit power facilities and apartment buildings in the capital.

Several of the people hurt in the strikes on the city have been hospitalized, as confirmed by local officials.

Regional authorities said the metropolitan region came under intense attacks overnight. A minor was killed and multiple civilians were wounded.

The strikes come after evenings of aerial attacks in the territory, portions of which are currently controlled by Russian forces.

The entire country is in a state of readiness for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are tougher to detect.

Authorities told reporters that Russia was deliberately attempting to damage the electrical infrastructure, with assaults already impacting gas facilities.

He said technical personnel and authorities were preparing for further attacks.
