Ukraine's energy systems have come under escalating attacks in recent weeks

During the night, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have resulted in electricity outages in multiple districts of the capital city, Kyiv.

Several individuals were hurt while residents in the city's east were left without electricity and dealt with interruptions to drinking water, per reports from local authorities.

At the same time, a minor was killed in a separate assault in the southeastern region in the country's south-east, according to area administrators.

Moscow has escalated strikes on energy facilities over recent weeks, while officials has demanded "substantial measures" from allies to apply pressure on Russia.

"What's needed is not superficial actions but firm measures - from the America, the EU and the Group of Seven - in delivering defensive weapons and implementing restrictions," he wrote in a online statement.

He said that 450 drones and more than 30 missiles struck the country's power systems, describing such attacks as "premeditated" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.

The energy minister said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and technical staff were laboring to fix the damage.

A series of attacks struck power facilities and apartment buildings in the capital.

Multiple people wounded in the attacks on the capital have been hospitalized, per statements from local officials.

Local officials said the urban area experienced heavy assaults during nighttime hours. A minor died and three other people were injured.

The attacks come after periods of aerial attacks in the region, sections of which are currently controlled by Moscow's military.

The entire country is under warning for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are harder to spot.

Authorities told reporters that Moscow was deliberately attempting to damage the country's energy grid, with attacks already affecting energy systems.

He said energy workers and government agencies were anticipating more assaults.
