Authorities reported that numerous aerial vehicles and several dozen rockets attacked Ukraine's energy infrastructure, describing such attacks as "premeditated" and against "essential services" as winter approaches.
Energy officials said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were laboring to fix the damage.
A series of attacks damaged energy infrastructure and residential structures in Kyiv.
Five out of the nine people hurt in the assaults on the capital have been hospitalized, according to city authorities.
Area administrators said the metropolitan region came under significant strikes overnight. A seven-year-old child was killed and several individuals were hurt.
The strikes come after periods of aerial attacks in the region, parts of which remain under the control of Russian forces.

National leaders told the media that Russia was intentionally trying to damage the electrical infrastructure, with strikes already disrupting energy systems.
Officials stated utility staff and authorities were preparing for further attacks.
