Russian attack on DTEK power station injures five engineers

An intense russian attack on one of our power stations near the frontline on Saturday has wounded five DTEK power engineers. The attack is ongoing and power generation equipment has sustained damage.

Our colleagues have received first aid and have been transferred to hospital. We are in touch with them and their families and are providing all assistance necessary.

As soon as the attack is over, our engineering teams will begin damage assessment and begin repairs.

This is the 10th assault on the same thermal power plant in the past two months – the previous attack coming on December 20th.
