Russia launches missile and drone attacks against two DTEK power stations in Ukraine

russia launched missile and drone attacks against two DTEK power stations early on Thursday, inflicting further serious damage on Ukraine’s thermal power generation facilities after multiple massive attacks in recent weeks.

There were no casualties among our workforce, however an initial assessment has shown that the assault caused serious damage to power station infrastructure.

DTEK teams are working intensively to repair and restore power as soon as possible.

Over the past three weeks, DTEK has suffered its worst attacks since russia’s full scale invasion in 2022 – on March 22 and then March 29 – destroying around 80% of its available capacity.

DTEK will continue to do everything possible to protect and preserve Ukraine’s civilian energy system from russia’s illegal aggression. Our thermal power plants have been shelled almost 170 times since February 2022 and we are appealing to governments and foreign partners for help sourcing power generation equipment.
