Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and more than 30 missiles attacked Ukraine's energy infrastructure, characterizing such strikes as "premeditated" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.
Government representatives said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and repair crews were laboring to repair systems.
A wave of strikes struck power facilities and apartment buildings in the capital.
Multiple people wounded in the strikes on the capital have been taken to hospital, as confirmed by city authorities.
Area administrators said the metropolitan region came under intense attacks overnight. A minor lost their life and multiple civilians were wounded.
The strikes come after nights of air raids in the territory, sections of which remain under the control of Russian forces.

Government officials told journalists that Russia was intentionally trying to damage the electrical infrastructure, with attacks already disrupting fuel infrastructure.
Officials stated technical personnel and authorities were preparing for additional strikes.
