Russian Strikes on Kyiv Region Energy Infrastructure Called 'Extremely Serious'

Russian forces struck an energy infrastructure facility in the Bila Tserkva district of the Kyiv region on Monday evening, according to the city council, marking another attack on Ukraine's power grid. The Trypillja TPP thermal power plant near Ukrainka reported being hit again, with operator Centrenergo describing the consequences as "extremely serious." Russia has intensified attacks on the plant since late September, using ballistic missiles and jet drones. A separate afternoon strike in Vyshhorod killed an 82-year-old woman and injured two others. Ukrainian grid operator NPC Ukrenergo announced hourly power outages in some regions and restrictions for industry, warning the situation could change drastically.
