Initial information suggested that the plants in Zuhres and Novyi Svit had been hit and that some workers had been injured, Reuters quoted Kremlin-installed local officials and Russia’s state TASS news agency.
The agency also reported that one person was killed in Ukraine’s attack on the Starobesheve power plant in Novyi Svit.
According to TASS, „the body of one dead woman was extracted from under the rubble at the plant”.
The strike was allegedly carried out using a multiple rocket launcher system.
Reuters reported that there was no immediate comment from Ukraine. Kyiv had never officially claimed responsibility for attacks inside Russia or on Russia-occupied territory in Ukraine.
