Officials stated that 450 drones and several dozen missiles attacked the country's power systems, labeling such assaults as "premeditated" and against "essential services" as the weather cools.

The energy minister said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and technical staff were working to restore power.

A barrage of missiles struck electrical systems and residential structures in the capital.

Multiple people wounded in the assaults on the city have been taken to hospital, according to city authorities.

Regional authorities said the metropolitan region experienced intense attacks throughout the evening. A minor died and several individuals were injured.

The strikes follow periods of air raids in the territory, parts of which are occupied by Russian forces.

The whole nation is under warning for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are more difficult to identify.

Authorities told journalists that Moscow was deliberately attempting to demolish the national power system, with assaults already impacting energy systems.

Officials stated technical personnel and government agencies were preparing for additional strikes.
