On Friday, March 22, Russian occupants launched 12 missiles at Zaporizhzhia, hitting the Dnipro hydroelectric power plant, in particular. During the attack, an enemy missile also hit a trolleybus moving along the dam. This blocked traffic.

There is no threat of water leakage, the situation at the plant is under control. This was reported by Ukrhydroenergo and the Patrol Police of the region.

"Unfortunately, the largest hydroelectric power plant in Ukraine, Dnipro HPP in Zaporizhzhia, was also hit. The inhumans did not calm down after destroying Kakhovka HPP and are now trying to create a new environmental disaster by cynically hitting the Dnipro HPP and the dam," the hydroelectric company said.

A fire broke out at the station. Emergency services and power engineers worked at the site, overcoming the consequences of numerous enemy strikes.

"There is no threat of water leakage. The situation at the plant's dam is under control. We will promptly inform you about the consequences and further situation," Ukrhydroenergo added.

One of the Russian missiles hit a trolleybus moving along the Dnipro dam. There were people on board. It is currently known that as a result of enemy strikes in Zaporizhzhia, infrastructure facilities and houses were damaged and people were injured.

"Attention! Traffic on the road crossing of the Dnipro HPP dam is blocked... Please consider this information when planning your route. Stay tuned for updates on the resumption of traffic," law enforcement officials said.

They noted that traffic is carried out through the Khortytsia Arch Bridge (Serhii Tulenin Street - Sich Street - Tahanska Street), as well as through Novi Mosty and Khortytskyi district.

The head of the Center for Countering Disinformation, Lieutenant Andrii Kovalenko, briefly added, "Dnipro HPP is standing".

As reported, Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko said that on March 22, Russia carried out the largest attack on the Ukrainian energy system in recent times. There were hits and damage to generation facilities, transmission and distribution systems in various regions, as well as the de-energization of one of the power lines supplying ZNPP.
