The occupying army of the Russian Federation carried out a strike on DTEK's thermal power plants on the morning of December 25, causing significant damage to the equipment, the company reported on its Telegram channel.
"Today, the Russian Federation launched yet another large-scale terrorist attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure. DTEK's thermal power plants were targeted. As a result of the massive attack, the TPP equipment was severely damaged," the statement said.
The company emphasized that after the shelling ended, energy workers promptly began addressing the aftermath and restoring the functionality of the equipment.
"This year marks the thirteenth large-scale attack on the Ukrainian energy sector and the tenth large-scale attack on the company's energy facilities," DTEK noted.
Since the onset of the full-scale invasion, DTEK's thermal power plants have been shelled more than 200 times.
