Russia launched a missile attack on Thursday that destroyed the Trypilska Thermal Power Plant (TPP) in Ukraine's Kyiv region. The attack, which included 82 missiles and drones, resulted in the complete destruction of the largest power-generating plant in the area. Despite the devastating impact, there were no casualties reported, and power cuts in Kyiv and surrounding regions have been avoided.
Ukraine's Air Force successfully shot down 18 incoming missiles and 39 drones, but six hypersonic Kinzhal missiles evaded the country's air defenses. The energy company Centrenergo, which operated the Trypilska TPP, expressed shock at the scale of destruction, stating that the company had lost 100% of its power generation capacity across its three plants.
