Simultaneously, a young boy was lost their life in a separate assault in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southeastern part, according to local officials.
Moscow has escalated strikes on power infrastructure over recent weeks, while Ukrainian leadership has called for "real steps" from allies to apply pressure on Russia.
"What's needed is not superficial actions but strong steps - from the US, Europe and the G7 - in supplying protection systems and applying sanctions," mentioned in a social media post.
Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and several dozen rockets struck energy facilities, characterizing such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "critical infrastructure" as the weather cools.
The energy minister said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and repair crews were working to restore power.
A wave of strikes hit power facilities and apartment buildings in the capital.
Several of the people wounded in the assaults on the capital have been hospitalized, according to local officials.
Regional authorities said the city experienced intense attacks overnight. A young boy died and multiple civilians were hurt.
The assaults come after periods of air raids in the area, portions of which are currently controlled by invading troops.
The whole nation is on alert for advanced weapon attacks, which are tougher to identify.
Government officials told journalists that Russia was purposely seeking to damage the national power system, with assaults already disrupting fuel infrastructure.
