Moscow has escalated attacks on electrical systems over recent weeks, while Ukrainian leadership has called for "real steps" from partner nations to increase pressure on Russia.

He said that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and over thirty missiles struck Ukraine's energy infrastructure, describing such strikes as "strategic and deliberate" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as winter approaches.

Government representatives said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and maintenance teams were laboring to repair systems.

Local officials said the metropolitan region came under intense attacks overnight. A young boy lost their life and several individuals were hurt.

The assaults succeed nights of bombing campaigns in the region, parts of which are currently controlled by invading troops.
