Officials stated that numerous aerial vehicles and several dozen missiles attacked energy facilities, describing such assaults as "strategic and deliberate" and against "critical infrastructure" as the weather cools.

Area administrators said the city experienced intense attacks overnight. A seven-year-old child died and several individuals were injured.

The strikes follow evenings of bombing campaigns in the region, parts of which are currently controlled by invading troops.

The whole nation is under warning for advanced weapon attacks, which are tougher to detect.

Government officials told reporters that Moscow was intentionally trying to demolish the national power system, with attacks already disrupting fuel infrastructure.

Authorities confirmed energy workers and government agencies were bracing for further attacks.
