Overnight, Russian missile and drone strikes have led to power cuts in large parts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
Several individuals were wounded while inhabitants in eastern districts were left without electricity and encountered problems to water systems, according to municipal leaders.
At the same time, a minor was lost their life in a different Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southeastern part, according to local officials.
Moscow has intensified strikes on electrical systems over the last fortnight, while officials has requested "real steps" from partner nations to exert influence on Moscow.

The energy minister said Moscow was "launching a major assault" and technical staff were laboring to repair systems.
A barrage of missiles struck power facilities and apartment buildings in the capital.
Five out of the nine people hurt in the strikes on the city have been transported for medical care, per statements from municipal representatives.
Area administrators said the metropolitan region experienced heavy assaults during nighttime hours. A seven-year-old child was killed and multiple civilians were hurt.
The strikes follow nights of air raids in the area, sections of which are occupied by invading troops.
The entire country is in a state of readiness for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are harder to identify.
Government officials told the media that Russia was intentionally trying to demolish the national power system, with strikes already disrupting gas facilities.
Authorities confirmed utility staff and government agencies were bracing for additional strikes.
