The country's energy systems have come under increased attacks in the past few days

Throughout the evening, Russian aerial assaults have led to electricity outages in large parts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.

A number of civilians were injured while inhabitants in eastern districts were experienced blackouts and faced interruptions to water supplies, per reports from local authorities.

Meanwhile, a young boy was killed in a separate assault in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southeastern part, according to local officials.

Moscow has increased strikes on energy facilities over the last fortnight, while the country's government has called for "substantial measures" from international partners to apply pressure on Moscow.

He said that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and over thirty rockets targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, labeling such attacks as "cynical and calculated" and against "critical infrastructure" as winter approaches.

Energy officials said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and technical staff were working to fix the damage.

A barrage of missiles hit power facilities and residential structures in Kyiv.

Several of the people injured in the strikes on the capital have been transported for medical care, per statements from city authorities.
