He said that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and more than 30 rockets targeted energy facilities, describing such attacks as "premeditated" and against "critical infrastructure" as winter approaches.
The energy minister said Russia was "launching a major assault" and technical staff were striving to fix the damage.

Five out of the nine people hurt in the attacks on the city have been taken to hospital, according to municipal representatives.
