Multiple Ukrainian strikes struck the Shatura Thermal Combined Heat and Power Plant in Moscow Oblast, producing explosions, fireballs and reports of machine-gun fire. Unverified footage captured multiple explosions lighting up the night sky. Moscow region governor Andrei Vorobyov said some drones were destroyed by air defenses, several fell on the station, and a fire broke out that is now localised. Authorities said efforts are under way to promptly restore heat supply. The 1,500 MW Shatura plant had transformers ignited and at least 820 MW was taken offline, affecting roughly 1.5 million Muscovites. Local reports indicated at least six strikes. An energy analyst suggested the attack could be retaliation for attacks on civilian targets, including a recent killing of a seven-year-old girl from Poland.
