Officials stated that 450 drones and more than 30 projectiles attacked the country's power systems, labeling such attacks as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as winter approaches.
Government representatives said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and repair crews were working to repair systems.
A wave of strikes damaged power facilities and apartment buildings in the capital.
Multiple people injured in the strikes on the capital have been hospitalized, according to city authorities.
Area administrators said the urban area came under intense attacks during nighttime hours. A seven-year-old child died and three other people were wounded.

The entire country is on alert for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are more difficult to identify.
Government officials told journalists that Russia was deliberately attempting to demolish the country's energy grid, with strikes already affecting gas facilities.
Officials stated energy workers and government agencies were bracing for further attacks.
