A DTEK energy worker was killed and another injured when a drone fired by russia struck their vehicle in the Odesa region on 25th September.
The two men were moving away from a site where they were undertaking repair works after hearing an air raid siren and moving to a safe position when the drone hit their vehicle.
The injured worker, an electrician with DTEK’s grid network business, is receiving medical treatment, with DTEK managing his care throughout.
Odesa has been one of Ukraine’s most heavily attacked regions in recent years with its energy infrastructure repeatedly targeted.
This is a profound loss for the entire DTEK team. We are supporting the families of both of our colleagues and providing all necessary support.
