More than a dozen facilities were hit dozens of times

Addendum

Prime Minister Shmyhal reported that Energoatom facilities are protected by appropriate air defense systems. Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko is personally responsible for this, along with the head of Energoatom and the military.

Shmyhal reported that most of Ukrenergo's first-phase energy infrastructure facilities are already 85% protected .

According to him, Ukraine protects power facilities with the first and second level of protection. The first level of protection is gabions with sand. The second is reinforced concrete structures that can withstand direct drone strikes and also protect power facilities from missile fragments.
