russia fired missiles against DTEK power stations in a cynical Christmas Day attack on Wednesday, causing serious damage and forcing Ukraine’s energy system to implement power outages across the Dnipropetrovsk, Odessa and Kyiv regions.
In an attack aimed at millions of Ukrainians simply wanting to celebrate the holy day, russia caused serious damage to DTEK thermal generation facilities.
It is the 13th attack against the energy system this year and the 10th targeting DTEK power stations. The previous attack was on 13th December.
DTEK teams are assessing the damage and working to restore power as quickly as possible. We have no indications of any casualties at DTEK facilities at this point.
