As a result of another Russian attack on a main substation, one of the power lines supplying the occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant was cut off, putting the facility on the brink of a blackout.
According to the Ministry of Energy's press service, the attack posed a significant risk to the plant's operations.
"This latest act of Russian terrorism has created the threat of an accident at the occupied Zaporizhzhia NPP. We demand the immediate implementation of the IAEA resolution and the return of the plant to Ukrainian control. Only in this way can its safe functioning be ensured," said Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko.
Energy workers are already addressing the aftermath of the shelling, working to restore power to the plant as quickly as possible.
