Officials stated that 450 drones and over thirty projectiles attacked energy facilities, characterizing such assaults as "cynical and calculated" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.
Government representatives said Moscow was "launching a major assault" and repair crews were laboring to repair systems.
A barrage of missiles damaged electrical systems and civilian homes in Kyiv.
Multiple people hurt in the attacks on the capital have been taken to hospital, per statements from local officials.
Regional authorities said the metropolitan region endured heavy assaults during nighttime hours. A minor was killed and three other people were wounded.
The strikes follow evenings of aerial attacks in the region, portions of which remain under the control of Moscow's military.
