Even after over two years, the Russia-Ukraine war continues to stretch, a power facility in the vicinity of Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital, was wiped out by Russian missiles.
The Trypilska Nuclear Power Plant, which came under attack, is located near the town of Trypillya, in the south of Kyiv. It’s one of the many nuclear power facilities in Ukraine. According to the media reports, the facility was destroyed by six missiles on the morning of Thursday.
‘The attack resulted in a blaze covering the facility. The facility is owned by Centrenergo, a state-operated electricity and heat producer’, according to the media reports.
Strikes aimed at Ukraine’s energy infrastructure have resulted in damage to substations and power facilities across five regions.
These strikes led to emergency power outages because of the impacted facilities affecting at least 200,000 people.
On Wednesday, General Christopher Cavoli, the commander of European Command and the top US general in Europe said that Ukraine’s artillery shells and air defence interceptors will deplete rapidly without US assistance.
He warned that this could make Ukraine susceptible to either partial or complete defeat shortly.
On Thursday Ukraine’s parliament approved a contentious bill that will alter the regulations regarding civilian military mobilisation.
If Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signs the bill to take effect, it will tackle the manpower within its armed forces.
After months of deliberation, the bill received approval of the Parliament in its final reading with a majority of 283 votes.
