Russian troops carried out two attacks on a DTEK coal mining enterprise in Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk region, injuring one of the company's employees.

According to Ukrinform, the information was reported by DTEK Group on Telegram.

“The enemy attacked a DTEK coal mining enterprise in the Dnipropetrovsk region twice. As a result of a drone strike near the mine, a maintenance mechanic was injured. He is currently receiving the necessary medical care,” the company said in a statement.

A separate attack damaged the facility’s life-support infrastructure. Restoration work is currently underway at the site.

DTEK noted that this was the third attack on the enterprise in recent days. The day before, mine worker Yurii Filippov was killed by a Russian drone strike while traveling to work for his shift.
