The energy minister said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and maintenance teams were laboring to fix the damage.

A wave of strikes damaged electrical systems and civilian homes in the capital.

Several of the people hurt in the attacks on the capital have been transported for medical care, as confirmed by municipal representatives.
