Recent developments in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine have seen a resumption of aerial attacks on critical infrastructure. Russia launched its seventh major attack on Ukrainian power plants, firing nine missiles and 27 drones at energy facilities in central and eastern Ukraine. Fortunately, Ukrainian air defenses were able to intercept all the drones and five cruise missiles, preventing significant damage.
The attack targeted power structures in multiple regions, including Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Kyiv, and Vinnytsia. Private energy company DTEK reported that one of its power plants was hit in the overnight assault, resulting in injuries to three employees and severe damage to the plant's equipment.
