Officials stated that numerous aerial vehicles and more than 30 missiles attacked the country's power systems, describing such attacks as "strategic and deliberate" and against "critical infrastructure" as winter approaches.
Government representatives said Moscow was "launching a major assault" and maintenance teams were working to fix the damage.
A barrage of missiles hit power facilities and apartment buildings in Kyiv.
