Officials stated that 450 drones and over thirty rockets struck energy facilities, characterizing such attacks as "strategic and deliberate" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.
Energy officials said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and repair crews were striving to fix the damage.
