Ukrainian strikes have “annihilated” a major power plant in Moscow with multiple explosions and machine gun fire was heard at the Shatura Thermal Power Plant in Moscow Oblast.

Unverified footage shows multiple explosions ringing out with several fireballs lighting up the night sky.

Moscow region governor, Andrei Vorobyov, said, “Some of the drones were destroyed by air defense forces. Several fell on the territory of the station,” he added a fire broke out but this is now “localised”.

“All efforts are being taken to promptly restore heat supply.”

Igor Sushko wrote on X, “Ukrainian strikes annihilated a major combined heat & power plant in Shatura, Moscow region.

“One of the oldest plants in the country with a capacity of 1,500MW. At least 820 MW taken offline – equivalent to electricity usage of 1.5 million Muscovites.”

Wojciech Jakobik, an energy analyst, wrote on X: “Ukraine attacked the Shatura Combined Heat and Power Plant in Russia near Moscow.

“This could be retaliation for numerous attacks on civilian targets. In one of them, a seven-year-old girl from Poland was recently killed.”
