Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and several dozen projectiles struck the country's power systems, characterizing such attacks as "premeditated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as winter approaches.
The energy minister said Russia was "inflicting a massive strike" and repair crews were striving to restore power.
A series of attacks damaged power facilities and civilian homes in the capital.

Area administrators said the urban area experienced significant strikes throughout the evening. A minor died and several individuals were wounded.
The assaults succeed nights of bombing campaigns in the territory, portions of which are currently controlled by Moscow's military.

National leaders told journalists that Russia was deliberately attempting to demolish the national power system, with assaults already disrupting gas facilities.
Officials stated utility staff and authorities were anticipating further attacks.
