He said that 450 drones and more than 30 rockets struck Ukraine's energy infrastructure, describing such attacks as "premeditated" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.

Government representatives said Russia was "inflicting a massive strike" and repair crews were striving to repair systems.

Regional authorities said the city experienced heavy assaults during nighttime hours. A young boy was killed and several individuals were injured.

The assaults succeed evenings of aerial attacks in the territory, portions of which are currently controlled by Moscow's military.
