No drone damage to the power grid was reported, but Russian forces shelled Kherson’s thermal power station yesterday, cutting heat to tens of thousands of apartments amid winter cold.
A gas pipeline once used by Russian forces to sneak under Kupiansk was flooded by Ukrainian units, blocking underwater infiltration and forcing the enemy into exposed crossings.
In Kharkiv, Luhansk, and Donetsk directions where General Mykhailo Drapatyi coordinates defense, Ukraine increased combat effectiveness and crippled Russian artillery.
The first explosions rocked Kherson around 5:00 a.m. on 20 December, beginning an hour of sustained Russian artillery fire that damaged dozens of buildings across multiple districts and killed two people.
