Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and over thirty rockets attacked energy facilities, describing such strikes as "premeditated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as the weather cools.

Energy officials said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and repair crews were laboring to fix the damage.
