Several regions of Ukraine have suffered power outages following Russian attacks, according to Euronews.
Kyiv said the strikes represented the first attack of what it expects to be a broader Russian campaign aimed at depriving Ukraine of heating and electricity as winter approaches. Russia has in previous years targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure during the colder months, a pattern Ukrainian officials say has resumed with this latest round of attacks.
Ukrainian authorities have been working to reinforce the country's power grid and energy facilities against renewed strikes, including through air defense measures and infrastructure repairs, after previous winters saw widespread blackouts caused by Russian bombardment of power stations and substations.
The attacks add further strain to Ukraine's energy system heading into the winter months, when demand for heating and electricity typically rises sharply and outages carry heightened risks for the civilian population.
