Throughout the evening, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have caused blackouts in large parts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.

A number of civilians were wounded while residents in eastern neighborhoods were plunged into darkness and faced problems to drinking water, as stated by local authorities.

Meanwhile, a seven-year-old child was killed in a separate Russian drone strike in the southeastern region in the southeastern part, according to area administrators.

Moscow has intensified strikes on power infrastructure over the past few days, while Ukrainian leadership has called for "real steps" from allies to apply pressure on Russia.

"The necessity is not window dressing but decisive action - from the America, the EU and the major economies - in supplying air defence systems and enforcing sanctions," mentioned in a social media post.

Authorities reported that numerous aerial vehicles and over thirty rockets targeted the country's power systems, describing such assaults as "cynical and calculated" and against "critical infrastructure" as the weather cools.

Energy officials said Moscow was "launching a major assault" and repair crews were striving to repair systems.

A wave of strikes hit power facilities and apartment buildings in the capital.

Multiple people hurt in the attacks on the city have been taken to hospital, as confirmed by municipal representatives.

Local officials said the city experienced intense attacks throughout the evening. A seven-year-old child was killed and three other people were wounded.

The strikes follow evenings of aerial attacks in the region, portions of which remain under the control of Russian forces.

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

Authorities told the media that Russia was deliberately attempting to demolish the country's energy grid, with assaults already affecting energy systems.

Authorities confirmed utility staff and officials were preparing for further attacks.
