On November 3, 2026, Russian forces once again struck at Ukraine's energy infrastructure, specifically targeting four major thermal power plants. The attacks occurred within a short time frame, potentially leaving Ukrainian cities without heat during the cold season.
Attacks on Thermal Power Plants
According to reports, strikes were carried out on the following facilities:
- Zmiivska TPP near Kharkiv;
- Pridniprovsk TPP in Dnipro;
- Zelenodolsk TPP in Kryvyi Rih;
- Ladzhyn TPP near Vinnytsia.
These strikes are part of a broader campaign aimed at destroying Ukraine's energy infrastructure, which is particularly critical as winter approaches.
Scale of the Attacks
In the last half hour, approximately 20 ballistic missiles were launched, specifically targeting energy facilities. Among the affected localities were:
- Ladzhyn;
- Dnipro;
- Zelenodolsk;
- Slobozhanske;
- Kharkiv;
- Zmiiv.
These actions indicate the intention of Russian forces to inflict maximum damage on the Ukrainian energy system, which could lead to severe consequences for the population.
Response from Ukrainian Authorities
The Ukrainian government has already expressed concern over these attacks, emphasizing the need to protect energy infrastructure. Experts note that such strikes could have catastrophic consequences if urgent measures are not taken to strengthen the defense of energy facilities.
