DTEK notes that at the time of the attack, 496 mine employees were underground – all of them were brought to the surface, no one was injured.
The company claims that this is the seventh large-scale attack by Russian forces on DTEK coal plants in the last two months.
Last week, DTEK announced a massive attack by the Russian Federation on a mine in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, when 192 employees of the mine were underground during the attack. All the miners were brought to the surface.
Since the beginning of autumn, the Russian military has intensified its shelling of the Ukrainian energy and gas infrastructure, which supplies people with gas during the heating season.
In August, the Ministry of Energy reported that since March 2025, Russian forces have carried out more than 2,900 attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.
