Ukrainian forces have launched a missile strike on the Luch Thermal Power Plant in the Russian city of Belgorod.

This was reported by the local Telegram channel Pepel.

After the shelling, the power supply was cut off in part of the city, particularly in the center. According to local residents, at least four missiles hit the facility.

The damage was also confirmed by the governor of the Belgorod region, Vyacheslav Gladkov.
