This was announced by the head of the Novokakhovsk city military-civilian administration Vladimir Leontiev.

“Commissioning, repair and restoration work is being carried out,” TASS quoted him as saying on the air of the Rossiya 24 TV channel.

However, the station continues to function.

Earlier, the acting governor of the Kherson region, Volodymyr Saldo, said that the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station is protected from the risk of destruction after Ukrainian shelling.
