On December 5, russia carried out another terrorist attack on the civil and energy infrastructure of Ukraine. The energy company DTEK Energy, which had been repeatedly attacked by enemy troops before, was damaged by the shelling. Fortunately, this time there were no victims.
As a result of the shelling, the company's equipment and infrastructure were seriously damaged, and it is currently completely disconnected from the power system. The shutdown of the facility led to restrictions on energy and heat supply in the region.
After the end of the shelling, the energy workers immediately started eliminating the consequences of the attack and restoring the operation of the company's equipment.
For the sake of safety, only critically needed employees are at the facilities. All others work remotely.
DTEK Energy employees continue to do everything they can to make sure the Ukrainian energy system runs reliably under missile attacks. The company aligns its activities with NEC Ukrenergo. This is already russian troops’ 17th attack on DTEK facilities in the last two months. As a result, 24 energy workers were injured and 3 died. There were also casualties among rescuers and employees of contracting organizations.
