What happened

Russian forces struck the Naftogaz-operated Kherson combined heat-and-power plant with a glide bomb. Naftogaz said the civilian facility, Kherson's main heating source, sustained serious damage and that a full assessment would have to wait for safer conditions. The company said the plant had already been attacked dozens of times in 2026. Neither the exact strike time nor a quantified heat or electricity interruption was published, so no historical air-alert match is asserted.

When cited sources give different casualty, damage or spill figures for this event, they’re reported side by side above rather than merged into one number. See how confidence levels work.
