Russians attack boiler plant in Zhytomyr: equipment damaged, some homes left without heating

On the evening of November 7, some residential buildings in Zhytomyr were left without heat following a Russian attack on one of the city’s boiler plants. The strike damaged equipment essential for heating these homes. Municipal service specialists are currently assessing the extent of the damage.

Due to the equipment damage, the heat supply to buildings served by the targeted boiler plant has been cut off.

Municipal services are determining the scale of the damage. There have been no reports of casualties.

Earlier this week, between November 2 and 8, Zhytomyr residents experienced heating interruptions caused by strikes on energy infrastructure and emergency power outages.

On November 4, unstable power supply led to the failure of automation systems, frequency converters, and controllers at the boiler plants.

At that time, municipal utility workers managed to restore operations at nearly all of the boiler plants.
