Koretsky: occupiers target all three Kyiv thermal power plants overnight

Kyiv's Prime Minister, Serhiy Koretsky, disclosed that Russian forces carried out simultaneous attacks on all three of the capital's combined heat and power plants (CHPs) overnight on Wednesday. The strikes targeted energy system facilities in Kyiv, Kharkiv, and the broader region. In the capital, all three municipal CHPs were hit, while critical facilities in the Kyiv region, supplying power to the capital and central regions, also came under attack, Koretsky reported on Telegram.

The assaults resulted in 25 casualties, with two fatalities and one injured, following a strike on a multi-story residential building in Kyiv's Desnianskyi district late Tuesday. An additional fatality and injury occurred in the morning strike on the capital. Koretsky also reported that railway facilities were targeted in five Ukrainian oblasts, but thanks to early evacuation, no casualties were reported. Restoration efforts are underway, according to the prime minister.
