Drone Attacks on Ukraine

Recall that recently a Russian strike drone with a high-explosive warhead hit a shelter at the destroyed 4th power unit of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. The attack damaged the protective structure.

On the night of February 16, Russian forces launched an attack on the Mykolaiv Combined Heat and Power Plant. As a result of the strike, the plant's electricity generation capacity was completely destroyed, leading to a loss of heating supply for approximately 46,000 subscribers.
