Authorities reported that numerous aerial vehicles and more than 30 missiles targeted the country's power systems, labeling such attacks as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.
Energy officials said Russia was "launching a major assault" and technical staff were working to fix the damage.
A wave of strikes damaged electrical systems and civilian homes in the capital.
Multiple people wounded in the strikes on the capital have been transported for medical care, per statements from city authorities.
Local officials said the city came under intense attacks overnight. A seven-year-old child was killed and several individuals were hurt.
