At the same time, a minor was lost their life in a separate aerial attack in the southeastern region in the southern area, as reported by area administrators.
Russian forces has increased strikes on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while Ukrainian leadership has called for "concrete actions" from allies to exert influence on Russia.
"What's needed is not superficial actions but strong steps - from the US, the EU and the major economies - in delivering protection systems and implementing sanctions," mentioned in a social media post.
Officials stated that 450 drones and more than 30 rockets targeted the country's power systems, labeling such assaults as "premeditated" and against "critical infrastructure" as the weather cools.
Energy officials said Russia was "inflicting a massive strike" and technical staff were working to fix the damage.
A wave of strikes damaged energy infrastructure and civilian homes in Kyiv.
Five out of the nine people hurt in the attacks on the city have been hospitalized, according to municipal representatives.
Local officials said the metropolitan region experienced intense attacks overnight. A minor died and several individuals were hurt.
The attacks follow nights of bombing campaigns in the territory, portions of which remain under the control of Russian forces.

Government officials told the media that Moscow was purposely seeking to damage the electrical infrastructure, with attacks already affecting gas facilities.
Officials stated utility staff and government agencies were preparing for further attacks.
