The facility is burning in several places and is likely to be completely destroyed. Russian authorities have not yet commented on the attack.
Drones had previously attacked the thermal power plant in Shchastia, leaving occupied parts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts without electricity for a certain period.
Furthermore, according to the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Ukrainian soldiers struck enemy material and technical support facilities, hitting a fuel and lubricant storage depot in the area of the settlement of Kundriuche in the Luhansk region, and material and technical supply depots in the areas of Hirnyk and Velyka Shyshivka in the Donetsk region.
