Preliminary analysis indicates three missiles hit the newly built energy block of Voronezh TPP-1. Two struck the boiler building, damaging steam generators and turbines linked to LM6000 gas modules. Another pierced the roof, likely hitting the turbine hall. The strike caused a drop in power and heat supply across the city. This was one of the region’s most modern power units, finished in 2019.

Strike drones attacked the thermal power plant in the city of Voronezh on the night of November 9, resulting in power outages in several areas of the city.

At the time of the attack, powerful explosions were heard in the city, as reported by local residents. According to published photos and videos, the strike location was identified as the Voronezh TPP-1 (Thermal Power Plant-1).

Voronezh TPP-1's installed electric capacity is 378.3 MW, its thermal capacity is 1,389.3 Gcal/h, and it employs around 430 people.

It is the largest thermal power plant in the city, supplying heat to four districts – Levoberezhny, Zheleznodorozhny, Leninsky, and Central – as well as to more than a thousand enterprises, including the Voronezhsintezkauchuk plant.

[ JSC "Voronezhsintezskauchukuk" is one of the largest producers of rubbers and thermoellasts in Russia. In the corporate structure of Sibur, Voronezhsintezcumuchuk is part of the directorate of plastics, elastomers and organic synthesis. The main products of the enterprise are synthetic rubbers, obtained by different methods of polymerization (solar and emulsion), and thermoellasts. The largest consumers of the plant's products are tire manufacturers - Continental, Bridgestone, Pirelli, Michelin, Nokian. In the Black Earth region, there are no large consumers of VSK, small volumes are supplied to the Lipetsk plant Yokohama, OJSC "Kurskrezinotechnics", the Voronezh Pirelli site.]

Meanwhile, official authorities, represented by Alexander Gusev, the governor of the Voronezh region, confirmed that several drones had been shot down over the city and that a fire had broken out at one of the “utility facilities,” which was later extinguished. According to him, “for technological safety reasons,” the electricity supply was temporarily suspended. [Oh yeah.. ]

Militarnyi previously reported that early in the morning on November 6, the Kostroma Power Station – the third-largest thermal power plant in Russia – was hit.

The Federal Tax Service has started using AI to monitor the social media of Russians who post photos of travels, expensive purchases, and other signs of a "luxurious life," warned Vadim Zaripov, partner at "MEF Legal."

If the lifestyle does not match official income, such Russians will be called in for an interview. If the explanations given in the office are unconvincing, a thorough audit will be conducted.

At risk are people with active movement of funds in their accounts without official employment, entrepreneurs working without business registration, as well as property owners who rent out their property without declaring income, and those who undervalue prices when selling assets.
