Nature of Damage and Consequences

Reportedly, the enemy strikes hit the production facilities of the coal enterprises, resulting in damage to technological equipment and structures.

Condition of the Victims

Context: Systemic Strikes on the Region's Energy Sector

The attack on the coal mining enterprises became part of an ongoing series of strikes against the energy infrastructure of the Dnipropetrovsk region. According to the company, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, DTEK thermal power plants have been subjected to more than 230 enemy attacks, and the region's coal enterprises are also regularly targeted. On the night of October 31, Russians repeatedly attacked the region's energy facilities, resulting in severe damage to equipment and leaving a significant portion of residents without electricity.

Chronology of Shelling

Earlier, on October 29, Russian forces struck Dnipro, after which electricity disappeared in the city, causing a large-scale blackout. Separately, on October 1, according to DTEK, a strike was carried out on the administrative building of the DTEK Pavlohradvuhillia coal enterprise in Pavlohrad, where one worker sustained shrapnel wounds and SES rescuers localized the resulting fire. Thus, the strikes on the company's infrastructure are systemic in nature and have been ongoing for several weeks.
