Throughout the evening, Russian aerial assaults have caused power cuts in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.

At the same time, a seven-year-old child was fatally injured in a separate Russian drone strike in the southeastern region in the southeastern part, as reported by regional authorities.

Moscow has intensified attacks on energy facilities over the past few days, while officials has demanded "real steps" from partner nations to increase pressure on Russia.

He said that 450 drones and more than 30 missiles targeted the country's power systems, labeling such attacks as "cynical and calculated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.

Energy officials said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and technical staff were striving to fix the damage.

A wave of strikes damaged energy infrastructure and residential structures in the capital.

Multiple people injured in the strikes on the city have been hospitalized, per statements from city authorities.
