Russian shelling forces shutdown of one of DTEK's thermal power plants
Russia shelled a DTEK thermal power plant, causing significant damage to the facility and forcing it to halt electricity generation, the energy holding company said.
On August 18, Russian forces targeted a DTEK thermal power plant, inflicting substantial damage and compelling the facility to cease electricity production, according to the energy corporation. Today, the aggressor launched a powerful assault on one of DTEK Energy's thermal power plants, as reported by DTEK in a Facebook post on Tuesday.
Initially, the attack resulted in the plant's complete shutdown of electricity generation. Preliminary reports indicate that no employees were harmed during the shelling, but the plant's equipment sustained significant damage. DTEK stated that once the attack concludes, the power plant staff will swiftly commence repairs, collaborating closely with Ukrenergo to maintain the stability of the Ukrainian power grid.
Since the onset of the full-scale invasion, Russia has launched over 230 attacks on DTEK's thermal power plants, with the most recent incident occurring on June 12. Additionally, on August 17, the day prior to the power plant attack, the enemy launched a strike against one of DTEK's facilities – a mine in the Dnipropetrovsk region, resulting in the death of one employee and injury to another.
