Russian troops carry out missile attack on Dniester HPP – Air Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
On Monday, October 31, Russian troops launched a missile attack on the Dniester HPP.
This was stated by the spokesman of the Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Yuriy Ignat in a comment to ICTV.
Thus, he commented on the information of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Moldova about the Russian attack on the hydroelectric power plant allegedly using a drone. Yuriy Ihnat noted that it was a missile attack.
– There were no UAVs used today, no kamikaze drones. As the pilots told me, today are unfavorable conditions for their use. Only cruise missiles were flying today… The Dniester HPP was attacked by a missile. Only, probably, not by one, – Ignat said.
He clarified that the dam of the hydroelectric power plant “cannot be broken just like that”. Ignat also drew attention to the fact that today the Air Force shot down most of the missiles launched by the Russian Federation, which prevented catastrophic consequences for the infrastructure. He clarified that the Russians are attacking the entire territory of Ukraine.
Commenting on the information that appeared in the network about a possible attack on the Dnipro HPP and Kremenchuk HPP, Yuriy Ihnat said that he had no information about it yet.
– The Air Force can say something about what was flying in the direction (of a certain object – Ed.), but I do not have such information yet – he explained.
He added that details of possible damage or details of the attack should be announced by local authorities.
