"What's needed is not window dressing but strong steps - from the America, the EU and the major economies - in providing protection systems and applying penalties," mentioned in a public message.
Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and more than 30 rockets struck energy facilities, describing such assaults as "cynical and calculated" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.

Several of the people hurt in the attacks on the capital have been hospitalized, as confirmed by local officials.
