Authorities reported that 450 drones and over thirty missiles targeted the country's power systems, labeling such attacks as "premeditated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as the weather cools.
Government representatives said Russia was "launching a major assault" and maintenance teams were striving to fix the damage.
A barrage of missiles hit energy infrastructure and residential structures in Kyiv.
Several of the people injured in the strikes on the capital have been taken to hospital, per statements from municipal representatives.
Regional authorities said the urban area came under heavy assaults throughout the evening. A minor was killed and multiple civilians were wounded.
