Ukrainian drones attacked a thermal power plant in Oryol, power went out in the city

On the night of October 31, Ukrainian drones attacked a thermal power plant (CHP) in the city of Orel, said the governor of the Oryol region Andrei Klychkov, noting that “there were no casualties or fires at the facility.” At the same time, power went out in Orel, and backup lines had to be used to restore power supply. Orlovskaya CHPP is the largest generating source of electricity and heat in the region.

According to ASTRA *' s analysis, one of the strikes hit the CHP plant's open switchgear, which receives, distributes and transmits electricity from the plant's generators to power lines. Later, Klychkov announced restrictions on heat and water supply in three districts of the city.

The governor of the Vladimir region, Alexander Avdeev, reported an attack on “infrastructure” near Vladimir. ASTRA, based on eyewitness video, determined that a large fire started at the Vladimirskaya electrical substation, a large energy facility in the region.

In Yaroslavl, “due to the fall of fragments of Ukrainian UAVs” and “for investigative actions,” kindergarten No. 28 in the Frunzensky district will not work today, said the regional governor Mikhail Evraev.

“Tonight an attack by Ukrainian UAVs was repelled over Yaroslavl. There were no casualties. There may be fragments of drones in the region that are important for the investigation. If you find them, move to a safe distance and immediately report the location of the fragments by calling 112,” the head of the region wrote.
