The military institution announced on its official Telegram channel, “As a result of the strikes, Thermal Power Plant No. 6 in Kyiv was damaged.”

The note adds that in the Kharkiv region, “workshops in the Proton industrial zone, where components for the weapons and military equipment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were manufactured, were also damaged.”

Since mid-July, Russian strikes on port facilities in southern Ukraine and vessels transporting war materiel for the Ukrainian army in the Black Sea have been occurring almost daily.

Russia has been conducting a special military operation in Ukraine since February 24, 2022, to protect the Donbas population from “Kyiv regime’s genocide,” according to President Vladimir Putin.

It also aims to counter national security risks posed by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)’s eastward expansion.
