According to the occupying authorities, the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, which was occupied by Russian forces, was again subjected to artillery fire by Ukrainian forces. Critical objects were not hit, according to a statement published on Saturday by the Russian military administration in the city of Enerhodar, where the largest nuclear power plant in Europe is located.
The NATO ammunition was fired from across the Dnipro River and hit the site of the nuclear power plant – in the immediate vicinity of an administrative building, it said. Four bullets were registered. “Critical objects of the plant are not damaged.”
Number of employees in AKW reduced
The information could not be independently verified. Russia and Ukraine have repeatedly accused each other of shelling the nuclear power plant and planning provocations. Occupation representative Vladimir Rogov accused Ukraine of “nuclear terrorism”. It is being checked to see if there are any injuries. Given the danger, the number of employees has already been reduced.
Nuclear Disaster Worries
With six reactors and a net capacity of 5,700 megawatts, Europe’s largest nuclear power plant was occupied by Russian troops in early March. It is of strategic importance to the country’s electricity supply. At the end of February, Russia invaded Ukraine. Moscow leaders and occupation authorities in Zaporizhzhya reject international demands to return the nuclear power plant to Ukrainian control.
There is a warning of the danger of nuclear disaster. In 1986, the worst nuclear accident on European soil occurred at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine.
