Throughout the evening, Russian missile and drone strikes have led to power cuts in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
Several individuals were injured while inhabitants in the city's east were experienced blackouts and encountered interruptions to water systems, according to municipal leaders.
Simultaneously, a seven-year-old child was killed in a different assault in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southeastern part, based on information from local officials.
Moscow has increased assaults on energy facilities over recent weeks, while Ukrainian leadership has demanded "substantial measures" from international partners to apply pressure on Moscow.

He said that numerous aerial vehicles and over thirty missiles struck energy facilities, labeling such attacks as "cynical and calculated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.
Energy officials said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and repair crews were laboring to repair systems.
A series of attacks damaged electrical systems and apartment buildings in the capital.
Multiple people wounded in the attacks on the city have been taken to hospital, per statements from city authorities.
Local officials said the metropolitan region experienced heavy assaults during nighttime hours. A seven-year-old child lost their life and three other people were hurt.
The assaults come after evenings of aerial attacks in the region, parts of which are occupied by Moscow's military.
All of Ukraine is in a state of readiness for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are more difficult to spot.
Authorities told the media that Moscow was deliberately attempting to damage the national power system, with attacks already disrupting energy systems.
Officials stated technical personnel and authorities were bracing for more assaults.
