Overnight, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have resulted in power cuts in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.

A number of civilians were hurt while inhabitants in eastern neighborhoods were experienced blackouts and encountered disruption to drinking water, according to local authorities.

Meanwhile, a young boy was fatally injured in a separate assault in the southeastern region in the southeastern part, according to regional authorities.

Moscow has increased assaults on electrical systems over the past few days, while Ukrainian leadership has demanded "real steps" from allies to increase pressure on Russia.

He said that numerous aerial vehicles and several dozen missiles struck Ukraine's energy infrastructure, describing such assaults as "premeditated" and against "essential services" as winter approaches.

Energy officials said Russia was "launching a major assault" and repair crews were working to restore power.

A series of attacks hit electrical systems and civilian homes in Kyiv.

Several of the people wounded in the attacks on the capital have been hospitalized, according to local officials.

Local officials said the city experienced heavy assaults throughout the evening. A young boy was killed and three other people were wounded.

The attacks follow evenings of aerial attacks in the territory, sections of which remain under the control of Moscow's military.
