The country's energy systems have come under increased strikes in the past few days

Throughout the evening, Moscow's aerial assaults have caused blackouts in multiple districts of the capital city, Kyiv.

He said that 450 drones and more than 30 rockets targeted energy facilities, characterizing such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "critical infrastructure" as winter approaches.
