Officials stated that 450 drones and over thirty missiles struck energy facilities, labeling such strikes as "strategic and deliberate" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as the weather cools.
The energy minister said Russia was "inflicting a massive strike" and technical staff were working to restore power.
A series of attacks damaged power facilities and apartment buildings in the capital.
Multiple people injured in the strikes on the capital have been transported for medical care, per statements from city authorities.
Regional authorities said the metropolitan region came under significant strikes during nighttime hours. A seven-year-old child died and several individuals were injured.
