Details: "Today, Zaporizhzhia was under the most massive attack, and the hydroelectric power plant alone was hit eight times," he said.

Ukrhydroenergo, Ukraine's largest hydropower generating company, stated that emergency services and the State Emergency Service are working at the hydroelectric power plant at the moment. The fire has been contained. The plant's turbine hall is smoky and it is not possible to allow experts to inspect the damage to the hydraulic structure and electrical equipment.

Background: Earlier, Ukrhydroenergo reported that there had been two direct strikes on generation units of Dnipro HPP in Zaporizhzhia – HPP-1 and HPP-2. It is not yet known whether the latter will be restored, as it has suffered serious damage.
