Details: According to preliminary information, there were no casualties.
The equipment was seriously damaged as a result of the attack. Currently, the facility is completely disconnected from the power grid. Such a shutdown led to restrictions on heat supply in the oblast.
The power engineers have started to clean up the aftermath of the attack.
DTEK recalled that during September and December, the company's energy facilities had already suffered 19 attacks from the Russians. As a result, 24 power engineers were wounded, and three people were killed.
