Officials stated that numerous aerial vehicles and over thirty projectiles attacked energy facilities, describing 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 technical staff were working to fix the damage.
A barrage of missiles damaged power facilities and residential structures in the capital.
Multiple people hurt in the attacks on the capital have been taken to hospital, according to local officials.
Local officials said the urban area experienced heavy assaults throughout the evening. A young boy was killed and several individuals were hurt.
The strikes follow evenings of air raids in the region, sections of which are occupied by Moscow's military.

National leaders told journalists that Moscow was deliberately attempting to demolish the electrical infrastructure, with assaults already impacting fuel infrastructure.
