Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and more than 30 missiles targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, labeling such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "critical infrastructure" as winter approaches.

The energy minister said Russia was "inflicting a massive strike" and maintenance teams were laboring to fix the damage.

A series of attacks struck energy infrastructure and apartment buildings in the capital.

Regional authorities said the metropolitan region came under heavy assaults throughout the evening. A minor died and three other people were injured.

The attacks come after nights of air raids in the area, sections of which are currently controlled by Moscow's military.

Government officials told reporters that Russia was purposely seeking to demolish the electrical infrastructure, with assaults already impacting gas facilities.

Authorities confirmed utility staff and authorities were anticipating further attacks.
