Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and over thirty missiles struck the country's power systems, characterizing such assaults as "premeditated" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.
The energy minister said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and technical staff were laboring to fix the damage.
A series of attacks hit power facilities and residential structures in the capital.
