Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and over thirty rockets struck energy facilities, characterizing such attacks as "strategic and deliberate" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.
Government representatives said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and repair crews were striving to fix the damage.

The strikes succeed periods of aerial attacks in the region, sections of which remain under the control of invading troops.
