Three Ukrainian thermal power plants shut down following Russian airstrikes
According to DTEK, a private energy company that owns the plants, the strikes caused heavy damage. The company was forced to shut down electricity generation at all three plants, Rubryka reports.
Despite repeated Russian attacks, energy workers are still working to keep Ukraine's power system running.
DTEK did not say which regions the three plants are in.
But on the morning of November 3, Dnipro Mayor Borys Filatov reported a strike on a thermal power plant in the city's Samarskyi district.
On November 1, Russian strikes on energy infrastructure triggered emergency power cuts in Kyiv. In the Kyiv region, energy facilities, homes, and vehicles were damaged.
In the Dnipropetrovsk region, Russian strikes on energy infrastructure left nearly 100,000 households without power across Dnipro, Pavlohrad, and Samar districts. More than 70 repair crews were sent to restore electricity.
Overnight on October 31, Russian strikes on energy facilities caused widespread power outages in two regions. Around 200,000 households in the Dnipropetrovsk region lost power, along with more than 80,000 in the Kyiv region.
On October 14, Russia struck all three of Kyiv's combined heat and power plants and energy facilities in the Kharkiv region.
On September 30, Prime Minister Serhii Koretskyi said Russian forces had stepped up attacks on energy facilities. The strikes damaged the Trypilska Thermal Power Plant in the Kyiv region, among other sites.
