On the afternoon of October 30, Russian occupiers launched a massive attack on cities in the Donetsk region. At least seven people are known to have died and several others have been injured. Among the objects attacked was a thermal power plant in Slovyansk.
President Volodymyr Zelensky reported the shelling of the Slovyansk TPP in an evening address.
According to him, the Russians hit the facility with aerial bombs. Two people died as a result. The Ministry of Energy clarified that they were employees of the station. Five more energy workers were injured.
The attack damaged the equipment of the TPPʼs engineering and laboratory building.
