Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and more than 30 rockets struck Ukraine's energy infrastructure, labeling such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "critical infrastructure" as winter approaches.
Energy officials said Russia was "launching a major assault" and technical staff were laboring to repair systems.
A barrage of missiles hit electrical systems and civilian homes in the capital.

Regional authorities said the city experienced significant strikes during nighttime hours. A seven-year-old child died and several individuals were injured.
