russia has attacked a civilian DTEK power station for the second night in a row, seriously damaging the power station and halting power production. Fortunately, there were no casualties.

The last attack on the plant occurred the night before, on December 28-29. Over the past two months alone, there have been more than a dozen attacks.

Our teams are busy repairing the damage and working to get the power station back on line.

According to preliminary information, there were no casualties. The attack severely damaged the plant's equipment. After the attack stopped, the company started to repair the damage.
 
Over the past two and a half months, the enemy has launched more than a dozen attacks on the plant. During one of them, five power engineers were wounded.
