Two workers were injured in the attack, according to DTEK, Ukraine’ biggest electricity operator. It provided no further information, including the plant's location.

Ukrainian authorities release few details about the routine Russian attacks on its power grid so as not to give away intelligence to the enemy. Repair crews, meanwhile, work round the clock to undo the damage.
