Kherson could be left without electricity and heating for an extended period following another Russian attack on the city’s combined heat and power plant (CHP).
As reported by Ukrinform, Head of the Kherson Regional Military Administration Oleksandr Prokudin said this in a Telegram post.
According to him, the Kherson CHP plant sustained extremely serious damage in the Russian attack overnight on August 27, meaning that it will no longer be possible to count on the plant or other critical infrastructure facilities operating as usual this winter.
Prokudin stressed that the security situation in Kherson is extremely difficult, with Russian forces intensifying attacks on the region’s critical infrastructure on a daily basis.
Since July 1, the Russian army has dropped 170 guided aerial bombs on the Kherson region – more than during the entire first half of the year. In addition, over the past two months, Russian forces have launched more than 1,700 combat drones at the region. The enemy has also begun using jet-powered Shahed and Gerbera drones more actively to strike critical infrastructure facilities.
