Overnight, Russian aerial assaults have resulted in electricity outages in extensive areas of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.

Meanwhile, a minor was killed in a different assault in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southern area, based on information from regional authorities.

Russian forces has intensified strikes on electrical systems over the last fortnight, while the country's government has demanded "substantial measures" from allies to exert influence on Moscow.

He said that numerous aerial vehicles and over thirty missiles struck energy facilities, characterizing such attacks as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as the weather cools.

Energy officials said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and technical staff were laboring to repair systems.
