Simultaneously, a minor was killed in a separate Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia area in the country's south-east, as reported by regional authorities.

Russian forces has escalated assaults on electrical systems over the past few days, while the country's government has demanded "concrete actions" from partner nations to exert influence on Moscow.

"What's needed is not symbolic gestures but firm measures - from the US, Europe and the major economies - in supplying air defence systems and enforcing restrictions," he wrote in a public message.

Officials stated that 450 drones and several dozen rockets struck energy facilities, labeling such strikes as "strategic and deliberate" and against "critical infrastructure" as winter approaches.

The energy minister said Russia was "launching a major assault" and repair crews were striving to fix the damage.

A barrage of missiles hit electrical systems and apartment buildings in the capital.

Local officials said the urban area came under heavy assaults during nighttime hours. A minor lost their life and three other people were injured.

The strikes follow nights of air raids in the territory, parts of which remain under the control of invading troops.

The entire country is under warning for advanced weapon attacks, which are harder to detect.

Authorities told reporters that Moscow was intentionally trying to destroy the electrical infrastructure, with strikes already affecting gas facilities.
