According to authorities, explosions can be heard around the Ukrainian nuclear power plant Zaporizhia, which is occupied by Russian troops. The area of the nuclear power plant, located in Enerhodar, and residential areas were shelled 25 times with heavy artillery, crew representative Vladimir Rogov said Monday. Accordingly, grenades hit there. According to Ukrainian mayor Dmytro Orlov, who fled Enerhodar, explosions were heard. Ukraine accuses Russia of ‘nuclear terrorism’ with the shelling.
Crew representative Rogov said Ukrainian “terrorists” would fire the shots. He had also previously proposed a ceasefire. Ukraine demanded the withdrawal of Russian troops from Europe’s largest power plant.
Russia refuses to give up nuclear power plant
Russia refuses to give up the nuclear power plant. According to Kiev, it has already attacked the power plant site with combat drones.
Ukraine has accused Russian troops of using the nuclear power plant as a fortress to fire on the small towns of Nikopol and Marhanets across the Dnipro dam. Russia, on the other hand, claims Ukraine is shelling the facility with drones, heavy artillery and rocket launchers.
In most cases, the Russian Air Force intercepts the projectiles. Nevertheless, the infrastructure in the area of the nuclear waste storage facility has already been affected there. According to experts, increased radioactivity has not yet been registered.
