On the night of November 3, 2026, Russia launched a massive strike on three thermal power plants in Ukraine, resulting in their halt of electricity generation. This was reported by the company DTEK, which noted that the attack was carried out with dozens of missiles and drones.
Scale of Destruction
According to DTEK, the destruction at the power plants is extensive, which will significantly impact Ukraine's energy system. All three thermal power plants that were affected by the attack can no longer generate electricity, leading to a deterioration of the electricity situation in the country.
DTEK's Response
DTEK emphasized that despite the ongoing attacks from Russia, they continue to do everything possible to support the Ukrainian energy system. This includes efforts to restore the operation of other energy facilities and ensure electricity supply for consumers.
The Importance of Energy Stability
This attack further highlights the critical importance of energy stability for Ukraine amid the war. The loss of electricity generation at such large facilities as thermal power plants can lead to serious consequences for the economy and the lives of citizens. Experts are calling for enhanced security measures at energy facilities and preparation for potential new attacks.
