Russian Guided Bomb Seriously Damages Kherson's Main Heating Plant

Russian forces struck the Kherson combined heat and power plant with a guided aerial bomb on August 26, seriously damaging the city's main source of heat, Naftogaz Group said. The plant is exclusively a civilian facility supplying heat to Kherson residents and has been hit by Russian attacks dozens of times through 2026; a full damage assessment was pending as of the report, with Naftogaz saying it would resume once the security situation allowed.
