Footage Shows Possible Drone Strike On Major Power Station Near Moscow
Footage circulating on X shows multiple angles of what appears to be a drone strike on a power plant that plays a critical role in keeping Moscow's energy grid humming.
Visegrád 24 reports that long-range suicide drones struck the Shatura Power Plant in Moscow Oblast, roughly 75 miles east of the capital.
The facility is one of the region's key power generation hubs, with about 1,500 MW of installed capacity, including a modern 400 MW combined-cycle gas-turbine unit added in 2010. The plant is owned and operated by PJSC Unipro, according to the latest available data.
"It's one of Russia's oldest electricity and heat generation facilities, playing an important part in supplying the wider Moscow region with heat and electricity," Visegrád 24 noted.

There has been no official confirmation from Kyiv about the strike, and it comes on the same day Ukrainian and American officials are in Switzerland as part of Trump's push for Kyiv to accept a peace deal to end the war with Russia. Moscow has not yet commented on the strike nor released details about the power plant's status or outages.
