The Russian military confirmed it had carried out a large-scale air strike, but said only military targets in Ukraine were hit.
One person was injured in Kiev, police there said.
In addition to damage to energy infrastructure, residential buildings and private vehicles were hit. Several cars caught fire after being struck by falling drone debris.
