Authorities reported that 450 drones and over thirty projectiles targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, describing such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as the weather cools.

Energy officials said Moscow was "launching a major assault" and technical staff were striving to restore power.

Area administrators said the urban area endured significant strikes during nighttime hours. A seven-year-old child lost their life and several individuals were injured.

The assaults come after periods of aerial attacks in the territory, sections of which remain under the control of Russian forces.

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

Government officials told reporters that Russia was purposely seeking to demolish the country's energy grid, with strikes already impacting energy systems.

Officials stated utility staff and government agencies were anticipating more assaults.
