In the first two days of 2026, russia shelled Kherson CHPP more than 10 times - Naftogaz

In the first two days of 2026, russian troops shelled the Kherson combined heat and power plant more than 10 times with artillery and drones.

This is stated in the message of the Naftogaz of Ukraine group, Ukrainian News Agency reports.

The message says that the latest attack took place this morning and resulted in 4 hits on the territory of the plant.

It is noted that specialists are working on site as much as possible: assessing the extent of the damage and planning further actions.

"We are coordinating our actions with local authorities to provide heat to the townspeople as soon as possible. We are working on various options. In particular, we have already delivered a thousand electric heaters for residents. We will also provide another 500 heaters with gas cylinders. We have already purchased another thousand of the same and are waiting for delivery to hand them over to the city," said Serhii Koretskyi, Chairman of the Board of Naftogaz of Ukraine.

For many years, the Kherson CHPP provided heat to a significant part of the city. Due to systematic russian shelling, the station lost the ability to operate in its usual mode, and attacks on civilian energy infrastructure remain an almost daily practice.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on December 30, Deputy Head of the Regional Military Administration Oleksandr Tolokonnikov reported that due to continuous attacks by russian troops on the Kherson CHPP, the restoration of the enterprise's operation is currently impossible.
