The main source of heat for Kherson, the Combined Heat and Power plant, suffered serious damage as a result of a Russian guided aerial bomb strike, according to Naftogaz.
Russian troops attacked the Kherson Combined Heat and Power Plant with a guided aerial bomb. As a result of the strike, the city's main source of heat sustained serious damage.
"The extent of the damage can be assessed as soon as the security situation allows. We are coordinating further actions with local authorities," says Serhii Fedorenko, acting chairman of the board of Naftogaz of Ukraine.
The Kherson heat and power Plant, part of the Naftogaz Group, is an exclusively civilian facility whose primary purpose is to supply heat to the city's residents. Throughout 2026, the plant has been subjected to dozens of Russian attacks.
The Russians are systematically striking the Kherson Combined Heat and Power Plant with drones and artillery. The plant is the sole source of heat for tens of thousands of the city's residents.
