In brief

The company described the consequences of the November 9 attack as extremely serious, with damage and repair needs to be assessed after a detailed inspection.

Russia attacked the Trypilska thermal power plant in Ukraine's Kyiv region again on November 9, Centrenergo said, according to RBC-Ukraine. The company described the consequences as extremely serious despite protective structures installed at the site.

Centrenergo chief executive Serhii Isachenko said a detailed inspection of damaged equipment and infrastructure would be needed to assess losses and determine the necessary restoration work. RBC-Ukraine's report did not specify a damage estimate, a repair timetable or whether there were casualties.

The company said Russia had substantially intensified attacks on the plant since late September, using ballistic missiles and jet-powered attack drones. Isachenko said Russia was now using different types of weapons against a single facility within a short period. The report did not specify which weapons were used in the November 9 attack.

RBC-Ukraine also recalled that a Russian attack on September 30 damaged the plant's generating equipment.
