Authorities reported that 450 drones and more than 30 projectiles struck energy facilities, characterizing such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.
Government representatives said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and technical staff were striving to fix the damage.
A barrage of missiles hit power facilities and residential structures in the capital.
Multiple people wounded in the strikes on the city have been taken to hospital, according to local officials.
Regional authorities said the city experienced significant strikes during nighttime hours. A young boy was killed and several individuals were wounded.
The attacks come after periods of air raids in the area, parts of which are occupied by invading troops.

National leaders told journalists that Moscow was intentionally trying to destroy the electrical infrastructure, with attacks already affecting gas facilities.
Authorities confirmed energy workers and officials were preparing for more assaults.
