Overnight, Russian missile and drone strikes have resulted in power cuts in extensive areas of the capital city, Kyiv.

Nine people were hurt while local people in eastern districts were left without electricity and encountered interruptions to water supplies, per reports from local authorities.

Meanwhile, a seven-year-old child was killed in a separate Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia area in the country's south-east, according to area administrators.

Russian forces has increased attacks on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while Ukrainian leadership has called for "substantial measures" from allies to exert influence on Russia.

"The necessity is not window dressing but strong steps - from the US, Europe and the G7 - in delivering air defence systems and implementing sanctions," he wrote in a online statement.

He said that 450 drones and over thirty rockets attacked energy facilities, characterizing such attacks as "strategic and deliberate" and against "critical infrastructure" as winter approaches.

Government representatives said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and repair crews were striving to repair systems.

A barrage of missiles struck electrical systems and apartment buildings in Kyiv.

Several of the people wounded in the strikes on the city have been taken to hospital, according to municipal representatives.

Local officials said the urban area came under heavy assaults throughout the evening. A minor lost their life and multiple civilians were injured.

The strikes follow periods of bombing campaigns in the area, portions of which are currently controlled by invading troops.

The entire country is on alert for advanced weapon attacks, which are more difficult to identify.

National leaders told reporters that Moscow was intentionally trying to demolish the national power system, with strikes already affecting energy systems.

Officials stated technical personnel and government agencies were anticipating further attacks.
