The Luch thermal power plant, a gas-turbine facility and one of Belgorod’s main sources of electricity and heating, was reportedly targeted in an overnight missile attack, the Astra Telegram channel reported early on Dec. 15.
Shortly after a missile threat alert warning, at least five or six explosions were heard across the city, followed by reports of “heavy smoke” in one district and power outages.
Belgorod Oblast Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov confirmed “serious damage to engineering infrastructure,” adding that Belgorod came under a missile attack. Emergency services are responding to the damage to critical infrastructure at the site. There have been no reported casualties.
Local authorities have not yet provided further details on the incident.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
