Officials stated that 450 drones and over thirty projectiles attacked energy facilities, labeling such strikes as "strategic and deliberate" and against "critical infrastructure" as winter approaches.
Government representatives said Moscow was "launching a major assault" and maintenance teams were striving to repair systems.
A wave of strikes damaged electrical systems and residential structures in Kyiv.
Multiple people wounded in the attacks on the capital have been taken to hospital, according to municipal representatives.
Local officials said the city came under intense attacks overnight. A minor lost their life and several individuals were wounded.
The attacks come after nights of aerial attacks in the region, portions of which are currently controlled by invading troops.

Government officials told the media that Russia was deliberately attempting to destroy the electrical infrastructure, with attacks already impacting gas facilities.
