Russian military forces launched an attack on a thermal power plant operated by DTEK, the largest private energy company in Ukraine. The strike killed one employee and wounded another. DTEK is a key player in Ukraine's energy sector, generating a significant portion of the country's electricity. This assault is part of a broader pattern of Russian strikes targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure, aimed at disrupting power supply and increasing pressure on civilians. The exact location and timing of the attack have not been officially disclosed, but DTEK has confirmed the incident and the casualties. Ukrainian authorities have condemned such attacks, emphasizing that deliberate targeting of civilian infrastructure constitutes a war crime.
