Throughout the evening, Russian aerial assaults have caused power cuts in large parts of the capital city, Kyiv.

Meanwhile, a seven-year-old child was fatally injured in a different Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southern area, based on information from regional authorities.

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

"The necessity is not superficial actions but firm measures - from the America, European nations and the Group of Seven - in delivering defensive weapons and enforcing penalties," he wrote in a social media post.

Authorities reported that 450 drones and more than 30 missiles struck Ukraine's energy infrastructure, describing such assaults as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as the weather cools.

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

A wave of strikes hit power facilities and civilian homes in Kyiv.

Multiple people wounded in the attacks on the capital have been taken to hospital, according to local officials.
