Russian occupiers do not stop attacking critical infrastructure of Ukraine. In particular, on Wednesday, October 19, they launched rocket attacks on the Burshtyn thermal power plant in the Ivano-Frankivsk region. This was reported by the head of the OVA Svitlana Onyshchuk in Telegram.
“Unfortunately, today our region was hit by rocket fire again. We hit the Burshtynskaya TPP, which caused a fire. All services are working. Rescuers are on the spot,” – she noted.
According to Onyshchuk, no one was injured as a result of enemy strikes.
