Ukraine's energy systems have faced increased attacks in recent weeks

During the night, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have caused power cuts in extensive areas of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.

Meanwhile, a seven-year-old child was killed in a different assault in the southeastern region in the southeastern part, as reported by regional authorities.

Russian forces has increased strikes on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while the country's government has demanded "concrete actions" from partner nations to increase pressure on Moscow.

"What is required is not superficial actions but decisive action - from the US, Europe and the G7 - in providing protection systems and implementing sanctions," was stated in a online statement.

He said that 450 drones and over thirty rockets struck Ukraine's energy infrastructure, labeling such assaults as "cynical and calculated" and against "critical infrastructure" as winter approaches.

Government representatives said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and repair crews were laboring to repair systems.

Local officials said the urban area came under intense attacks during nighttime hours. A seven-year-old child died and multiple civilians were wounded.

The strikes follow evenings of air raids in the area, portions of which are currently controlled by invading troops.

The whole nation is in a state of readiness for advanced weapon attacks, which are harder to identify.

National leaders told the media that Moscow was deliberately attempting to damage the country's energy grid, with attacks already impacting fuel infrastructure.

Authorities confirmed utility staff and government agencies were bracing for more assaults.
