Russian forces launched a missile attack on a facility operated by Ukraine's state-owned energy company Naftogaz in the Chernihiv region, causing severe damage to the site, according to Naftogaz.
According to the company, the facility was struck by two missiles during the day.
The attack damaged technical equipment, while the building itself suffered severe damage.
The full extent of the damage cannot yet be assessed due to the security situation in the region.
All employees were in shelters at the time of the strike, so no one was injured.
"This strike is another deliberate Russian attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure ahead of winter," Naftogaz emphasized.
Russia continues its systematic attacks on Ukraine's fuel and energy sector in an attempt to destroy critical infrastructure.
In particular, Russian forces targeted facilities in the sector several times in November 2026.
On the night of November 11, Russian forces struck a Naftogaz facility in the Dnipropetrovsk region using jet-powered drones.
A similar Russian attack was also recorded several days earlier. Russian forces reportedly attacked a Naftogaz facility in central Ukraine three times on the night of November 7.
Amid regular attacks, the company is preparing in advance for the heating season and developing response strategies to address various challenges.
