Energy workers show aftermath of Russian attack on Trypillya power plant

Russia has again attacked the Trypillya thermal power plant, with the consequences described as extremely serious by the energy company Centrenergo, which has released footage of the damage. Since late September, Russia has intensified strikes on the plant and changed its tactics, using ballistic missiles and attack drones against the single facility. Centrenergo CEO Serhiy Ishchenko stated that protective structures exist, but the new approach creates fresh challenges for defending energy infrastructure. The company said it is premature to specify the scale of destruction until a detailed inspection is completed. The attacks have also left consumers in 12 regions without power, with strikes targeting five 330 kV substations that form Kyiv's energy ring.
