The energy minister said Russia was "launching a major assault" and repair crews were working to fix the damage.
A wave of strikes struck power facilities and residential structures in the capital.
Several of the people hurt in the strikes on the capital have been transported for medical care, as confirmed by local officials.
Local officials said the urban area experienced heavy assaults throughout the evening. A young boy lost their life and three other people were injured.
The attacks come after nights of air raids in the territory, parts of which remain under the control of Russian forces.
The whole nation is on alert for advanced weapon attacks, which are harder to detect.
National leaders told reporters that Moscow was intentionally trying to destroy the country's energy grid, with strikes already impacting gas facilities.
Officials stated utility staff and officials were bracing for additional strikes.
