"The enemy has again massively bombed Ukraine's energy facilities. This night, four DTEK thermal power plants suffered as a result of the attack. According to preliminary information, unfortunately, there are victims. We provide all the necessary assistance," reads the message.

Due to the bombings, the equipment of the enterprises was badly damaged, now the energy sector is trying to eliminate the consequences of the attack. DTEK also recalled that since the beginning of the full-scale war, the Russian Federation has bombed the thermal plants of the Ukrainian energy company DTEK more than 170 times.

Moreover, the Ukrainian Minister of Energy, German Galushchenko, confirmed that the enemy has again attacked the country's energy infrastructure. According to him, the facilities in Dnipropetrovsk, Ivano-Frankivsk and Lviv regions were particularly affected.

"There is damage to the equipment. At one of the installations, the shift chief was injured - the power engineer suffered a concussion. The consequences of the attacks are being settled. We are still working on their elimination," added Galushchenko.

According to UNIAN, the Russian occupiers attacked Ukraine that night with Tu-95 and Kinzhalami strategic bombers. Around 4 o'clock in the morning, the alarm began in most regions of Ukraine. The Air Force also reported the launch of enemy missiles that changed their trajectory.

It was also reported that during the attack in Kharkiv, a rocket almost hit a hospital, where there were more than a thousand people. "Fortunately, the rockets hit the ground and not the buildings of the medical center - otherwise it is difficult to imagine the number of dead and wounded. There is one injured person", said the city's mayor, Igor Terejov.

In general, the blast wave shattered windows, damaged roofs, power lines, water pipes and other means of engineering communications.
