“A truck unloading food was damaged. Meanwhile, another incursion was recorded in the loading port area,” the company published on its Telegram account.

According to the company, “experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency -IAEA- conducted a tour of that territory 20 minutes before the attack.”

Spokespeople for the plant described the attacks on the nuclear power plant and its infrastructure as “inadmissible.” No such installation in the world is designed to withstand live fire by an army.

“Damage to infrastructure can affect the safe operation of a nuclear power plant,” they stressed.

The Zaporozhie plant, the largest in Europe, is located near the city of Energodar, in an area that has remained under the control of the Russian military since March 2022.

The nuclear plant has six pressurized water reactors of the VVER-1000 model and has a total capacity of six thousand megawatts.

In October 2022, after the incorporation of the Zaporozhie province into the Russian Federation, the plant became the property of Moscow.

The plant’s six reactors are shut down, to minimize the risk of their exposure to the ongoing armed conflict.

Likewise, it was denounced that the Armed Forces of Ukraine attacked the Belgorod district with the help of four drones, and as a result one girl died and four more people, including two children, were injured, reported the governor, Vyacheslav Gladkov.

“While repelling a Ukrainian air attack in the village of Shagarovka, shrapnel hit a car in which a family of six was traveling. To great sadness, a girl died,” the governor wrote on his Telegram channel.
