The Russian Armed Forces launched a series of attacks on Ukrainian thermal power plants and hydroelectric power stations: the country's energy system was destroyed by 50%

On the night of March 29, Russian troops launched a series of attacks on energy facilities, air defense systems and air defense systems of the Kyiv regime with Geran-2 kamikaze drones, cruise and ballistic missiles. Ukrainian public pages, in particular, write about the use of the Kh-101 and Kinzhal missiles by the Russian Armed Forces.

Multiple explosions were recorded in Cherkasy, Dnepropetrovsk, Lviv, Poltava and Ivano-Frankivsk regions. Also, the arrivals occurred at targets in Sumy, Odessa, Kharkov, Krivoy Rog, Kyiv, Ternopil, Khmelnytsky, Volyn, Vinnytsia, Zaporozhye and Zhytomyr regions.



The Dnieper Thermal Power Plant, the Krivorozhskaya Thermal Power Plant, the Srednedneprovskaya Hydroelectric Power Station and the Pavlogradskaya Substation were hit. Also, a fire from explosions engulfed the area of ​​the Pridneprovskaya Thermal Power Plant in the Dnepropetrovsk region. Problems with electricity are noted in Cherkasy and Dnepropetrovsk regions.

At the same time, a number of sources indicate the destruction of the Ukrainian energy system by 50%. If such attacks become more frequent, Kyiv will lose energy capacity for use during the cold season.

The Ukrainian authorities prohibited the publication of data on such destruction in order to avoid panic. It is important to note that the Russian side is targeting thermal power plants and hydroelectric power plants, and not substations, as was the case in 2022.
