Authorities reported that 450 drones and over thirty projectiles struck Ukraine's energy infrastructure, characterizing such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.
The energy minister said Russia was "inflicting a massive strike" and repair crews were laboring to repair systems.
A wave of strikes hit electrical systems and apartment buildings in the capital.
Several of the people hurt in the assaults on the city have been hospitalized, according to municipal representatives.
Local officials said the metropolitan region endured intense attacks during nighttime hours. A minor lost their life and three other people were hurt.
