Moscow (Eurotoday Newspaper) – Ukraine’s drone strike on a significant heat and power facility in the Moscow region on Sunday caused a fire, prompting the activation of backup power and the deployment of mobile heating units, according to the region’s governor.
Ukraine routinely launches strikes against military and industrial structures in Russian territories, primarily depending on domestically developed drones.
The Shatura Power Station, located roughly 120 kilometres east of the Kremlin, was hit by Ukrainian drones, Moscow region governor Andrei Vorobyov reported on Sunday.
What damage did the fire cause at the Moscow facility?
As reported by Reuters, unverified video clips circulating on Telegram depicted a series of explosions, followed by multiple fireballs illuminating the night.
“Some of the drones were destroyed by air defense forces. Several fell on the territory of the station. A fire broke out at the facility. Now it is localised,”
Vorobyov said.
Three transformers, each roughly 65 square meters, ignited at the power station, according to the Kommersant newspaper, which cited the emergencies ministry. Vorobyov reported that backup power was activated and mobile heating units were being sent to the area, where temperatures hovered near freezing.
A local resident mentioned the absence of heating. Russia, having focused on Ukrainian energy and heating infrastructure in recent months, depends on large, Soviet-era heating plants to provide warmth to its citizens.
The reciprocal attacks by Ukraine and Russia on each other’s power plants have significant ripple effects on Europe, particularly in terms of energy security and regional stability.
What impact did the earlier November drone strikes have on Russia?
Moreover, the Ukrainian drone strikes on Moscow’s energy infrastructure, a major offensive, took place on November 9, 2025. These strikes, which targeted Russian cities like Belgorod and Voronezh, severely disrupted power and heating.
The damage was considerable, crippling power and heating networks and impacting tens of thousands of residences. Fires also broke out at various utility facilities. This was just one more round in a back-and-forth struggle, with Ukraine hitting Russian energy assets in response to Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure. The attacks underscored the growing energy conflict between the two nations, causing widespread disruption.
