Russian Missiles Hit Kyiv Power Plant – Zelensky Sounds Alarm Over Second Night Without Allied Warnings
Russia struck Kyiv’s CHP-4 power plant and a nine-story residential building late Tuesday, killing at least one person and injuring 13. President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine received no advance warning from Western partners for the second consecutive night, while intelligence indicated Russia was preparing further ballistic missile launches.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that Russian forces carried out a missile attack on Kyiv, specifically targeting the city's Thermal Power Plant No. 4 (TPP-4). The facility was damaged, along with a nearby residential building, as firefighters worked to control a fire. Zelenskyy noted that Ukraine did not receive any advance warning from its allies about the incoming ballistic missiles, which were identified by Ukrainian air defense systems only after they had started their approach towards Kyiv.
TPP-4 is one of Kyiv's vital energy facilities. Ukrainian intelligence has indicated that Russia may carry out additional ballistic missile strikes. Zelenskyy stated that the attack demonstrated Russia's lack of adherence to the position expressed by U.S. President, as Ukraine had advocated for a suspension of attacks on energy infrastructure.
However, Russia chose to strike another power plant, putting lives at risk. The Ukrainian leader called on the international community not to stay silent and urged the United States to acknowledge the situation and identify those responsible for perpetuating the conflict.
