Russian Strike Damages DTEK Thermal Power Plant, Halting Operations
DTEK said the plant was heavily damaged and halted output as Russia stepped up attacks on Ukraine’s energy system ahead of winter.
- Russian drones attacked one of DTEK's mines in Dnipropetrovsk, killing one employee and injuring another as medical personnel provided care amid significant infrastructure damage.
- DTEK reported that Russian forces heavily damaged equipment at a thermal power plant on August 18, forcing a halt to electricity generation after more than 230 attacks on such facilities since the invasion began.
- Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal stated earlier this month that Russian forces have destroyed or damaged more than 80% of Ukraine's power-generating capacity, adding to extensive national damage.
- With winter approaching, Russian forces are intensifying attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure and logistics facilities, with Kyiv Oblast serving as a primary target in recent weeks to disrupt supply systems.
- The Ukrainian Air Force intercepted most drones launched during the day, though such strikes threaten to make winter power outages significantly more dangerous for civilians by disrupting water and sewage systems.
