A Russian strike using glide bombs severely damaged generating equipment at Kherson's combined heat and power plant, forcing the facility to shut down, the operator Naftogaz said, according to AP and UNN.

Verification: Probable

Evidence: Russia bombards 9 Ukrainian cities overnight, calling the strikes 'massive', In Kherson, Russians carried out an airstrike on a combined heat and power plant, causing significant destruction — Naftogaz

AP reports four glide bombs destroying the generating equipment and UNN carries Naftogaz describing an airstrike on the plant, so the mechanism is manned aircraft delivering guided bombs. The plant's exact coordinates were not published; the claim is anchored on Kherson city with a 10 km radius. A manned-aircraft attack draws the destination strike and no delivery vector, so no illustrative initiator-area origin is declared (ADR-0036).
