More now on the shelling attack that has struck the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine.
As we told you earlier, Russia initially reported the bombardment, blaming Ukraine, and the UN nuclear watchdog then confirmed explosions had been recorded at the site.
Ukraine’s nuclear energy company Energoatom has now commented on the attack, saying there were at least 12 hits on the plant’s facilities and accusing Moscow of being behind the strike.
It added that the list of damaged equipment indicated the attackers “targeted and disabled exactly the infrastructure” needed for the restoration of power production.
The nuclear power plant, which is Europe’s biggest, has come under several attacks since the war began, causing it to be disconnected from the grid and sparking fears of a nuclear incident.
Both Ukraine and Russia have repeatedly blamed each other for the attacks.
