Russian strikes halt three Ukrainian thermal power plants; DTEK releases photos of damage

obozrevatel.com (Ukrainian) —

Three Ukrainian thermal power plants halted operations after Russian strikes on November 3, with the energy company DTEK releasing photos showing the destruction. The attacks involved dozens of missiles and drones targeting the facilities, causing significant damage and forcing them to stop electricity production. DTEK said workers continue efforts to support Ukraine's energy system despite regular attacks. President Zelensky noted Russia's new tactic targets both generation and distribution networks, with dozens of daily strikes. Three Kyiv combined heat and power plants remain non-operational since a January 7, 2026 attack, limiting the capital's generation capacity.
