During the night, Russian missile and drone strikes have caused power cuts in large parts of the capital city, Kyiv.
Nine people were wounded while local people in eastern neighborhoods were plunged into darkness and dealt with disruption to water supplies, per reports from municipal leaders.
Simultaneously, a young boy was killed in a distinct Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the country's south-east, based on information from regional authorities.
Moscow has escalated attacks on power infrastructure over the past few days, while Ukrainian leadership has called for "concrete actions" from partner nations to increase pressure on Moscow.
"The necessity is not window dressing but strong steps - from the US, European nations and the major economies - in supplying defensive weapons and implementing sanctions," was stated in a online statement.
Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and several dozen rockets targeted the country's power systems, describing such strikes as "strategic and deliberate" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as the weather cools.
The energy minister said Russia was "inflicting a massive strike" and maintenance teams were working to fix the damage.
A series of attacks struck electrical systems and residential structures in the capital.
Several of the people wounded in the attacks on the capital have been transported for medical care, as confirmed by municipal representatives.
Local officials said the city endured heavy assaults overnight. A young boy died and several individuals were wounded.
The attacks succeed periods of bombing campaigns in the region, sections of which are occupied by Moscow's military.
The whole nation is in a state of readiness for advanced weapon attacks, which are harder to spot.
Authorities told the media that Moscow was deliberately attempting to destroy the national power system, with attacks already disrupting energy systems.
He said energy workers and officials were anticipating more assaults.
