In Kherson, as a result of a massive Russian attack on December 3, the combined heat and power plant was almost destroyed, and the station's employees were injured.

According to Ukrinform, Naftogaz press service reported this on its website.

"A massive shelling has practically destroyed the Kherson CHP plant: there are injured," the statement says.

On Wednesday, December 3, the Russians once again deliberately attacked the Kherson CHP plant. The plant has currently stopped operating.

Employees of the station were also injured.

"The Kherson CHP plant is an entirely civilian facility. Its only purpose is to provide heating to city residents. Despite this, the Russians systematically shell the enterprise. This is terrorism," emphasized Naftogaz CEO Sergii Koretskyi.
