russia attacks DTEK thermal power plant twice in 24 hours

A DTEK thermal power plant near the frontline with russian forces has been hit for the second time in 24 hours.

Equipment has been damaged and DTEK teams are on-site repairing the power station, which cannot be named due to reporting restrictions around critical infrastructure. No one was hurt in the attack,

russia has launched around 40 attacks on DTEK power stations so far this winter, however we remain resolute in ensuring the uninterrupted flow of power to the Ukrainian people, businesses, civilian infrastructure and Ukraine's defenders.
