Kyiv Independent and WarMonitor3 reported the same strike on Kharkiv's power plant. No detailed casualty figures for the plant strike alone were published in these sources; published as an unverified official Ukrainian claim of an energy-infrastructure attack. Distinct from the Pisochyn civilian store missile and the Nemyshlianskyi GAB the same day.
