This was announced by the chairman of the supervisory board of Centrenergo PJSC, Andriy Hota, in a comment to "Interfax-Ukraine".

All workers who were on shift during the shelling are alive, he added.

As a result of the hits, there was a large-scale fire in the turbine workshop. Currently, work on fire localization is ongoing at the enterprise.
