A DTEK Energy thermal power plant near frontline fighting with russia was hit in an attack designed to damage Ukraine's energy system, late on Monday night.
No employees were hurt on this occasion but the attack on civilian infrastructure caused severe damage and knocked out power and water to a nearby town.
The attacks, which the International Criminal Court says constitute a crime against humanity, are the 37th russian strike on a DTEK power stations and the second this autumn. Last winter occupying forces launched over 1,200 attacks on Ukraine's energy system and plunged millions of citizens into cold and dark conditions, and denying other basic services, for weeks on end.
DTEK engineers are working to repair the damage and restore power and water supply as soon as possible.
