Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and over thirty projectiles attacked Ukraine's energy infrastructure, labeling such assaults as "premeditated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.

A wave of strikes hit energy infrastructure and civilian homes in Kyiv.
