Overnight, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have resulted in power cuts in large parts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.

A number of civilians were injured while local people in the city's east were left without electricity and faced disruption to water supplies, per reports from municipal leaders.

Simultaneously, a minor was fatally injured in a distinct aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia area in the country's south-east, based on information from area administrators.

Moscow has increased attacks on electrical systems over recent weeks, while the country's government has demanded "substantial measures" from allies to exert influence on Russia.

"The necessity is not superficial actions but strong steps - from the US, Europe and the Group of Seven - in supplying defensive weapons and enforcing penalties," he wrote in a public message.

Authorities reported that numerous aerial vehicles and over thirty projectiles targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, describing such assaults as "premeditated" and against "essential services" as winter approaches.

Energy officials said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and repair crews were working to restore power.

A series of attacks damaged electrical systems and civilian homes in the capital.

Multiple people injured in the strikes on the city have been transported for medical care, according to city authorities.

Regional authorities said the metropolitan region came under intense attacks overnight. A seven-year-old child lost their life and several individuals were wounded.

The assaults follow periods of bombing campaigns in the territory, parts of which are currently controlled by Russian forces.

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

Government officials told reporters that Moscow was purposely seeking to destroy the national power system, with assaults already affecting gas facilities.

He said energy workers and government agencies were anticipating additional strikes.
