Throughout the evening, Russian missile and drone strikes have resulted in power cuts in multiple districts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were hurt while residents in the city's east were plunged into darkness and dealt with interruptions to drinking water, according to municipal leaders.
At the same time, a seven-year-old child was killed in a separate Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia area in the country's south-east, according to local officials.
Russian forces has intensified strikes on power infrastructure over the past few days, while Ukrainian leadership has demanded "concrete actions" from allies to increase pressure on Moscow.

He said that numerous aerial vehicles and more than 30 missiles attacked energy facilities, characterizing such attacks as "premeditated" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.
Energy officials said Russia was "launching a major assault" and repair crews were striving to repair systems.
A wave of strikes damaged energy infrastructure and apartment buildings in the capital.
Five out of the nine people injured in the attacks on the city have been hospitalized, according to municipal representatives.
Area administrators said the city came under significant strikes throughout the evening. A seven-year-old child lost their life and multiple civilians were hurt.
The strikes come after nights of aerial attacks in the area, sections of which are occupied by invading troops.
All of Ukraine is on alert for advanced weapon attacks, which are harder to spot.
National leaders told journalists that Moscow was intentionally trying to destroy the electrical infrastructure, with assaults already disrupting energy systems.
Officials stated utility staff and government agencies were anticipating further attacks.
