But the CPD notes that the dam is intact.

On the night of March 22, Russia fired missiles at the Dnieper hydroelectric power station dam. A passenger trolleybus carrying station workers came under attack.

According to advisor to the mayor of Mariupol Pyotr Andryushchenko , as well as journalist Denis Kazansky , at the time of the attack the trolleybus was transporting workers. There is no information yet about possible casualties and wounded.

Footage of the attack’s aftermath is being published online. The photo shows that the trolleybus burned to the ground.

But the Center for Combating Disinformation reported that the DneproGES is worthwhile. More information will be officially released later.

“The center is already recording various fakes about the “destruction of the dam” that the enemy is launching, as well as the assertion that “Ukraine will be completely left without electricity.” All this information does not correspond to reality,” writes the CPD.

Massive missile attack on the power grid

On the evening of March 21, Russian strike UAVs “Shahed” were spotted in southern Ukraine; later the movement of drones spread to a number of regions. And already in the morning the enemy began to launch rockets. Loud explosions were reported in Kharkov, Dnieper, Sumy, Khmelnitsky and other cities.

More than 15 explosions were heard in Kharkov, the city was left without electricity . In addition, problems with water are recorded. Residents of the Khmelnitsky region and Dnieper report problems with light. There is also a hit to a critical infrastructure facility in the Vinnytsia region. Several houses were destroyed in Zaporozhye, and there were wounded.

The Zaporozhye nuclear power plant was on the verge of a blackout. During a large-scale missile attack on Ukraine at 5:10 am, the external overhead line VL-750 kV “Dneprovskaya”, connecting the temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhya NPP with the unified energy system of Ukraine, was switched off.
