More than a dozen powerful explosions at a huge Russian-occupied nuclear power plant in south Ukraine, says IAEA

The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency warned about the risk of new shelling at the Zaporizhya Nuclear Power Plant.

More than a dozen explosions caused by shelling over the weekend shook the area around the plant, which was captured by Russian forces early into the invasion of Ukraine. The IAEA said that there were powerful explosions.

The two countries are blaming each other for the attacks.

According to information provided by the plant management, there had been damage to some buildings, systems, and equipment, but no critical equipment was damaged. There were no deaths reported.

The director general of the IAEA said that whoever is behind this should stop immediately. You are playing with fire!

There is an urgent need to prevent a nuclear accident there.

The director general is still pushing for a nuclear safety and security zone around the power plant. It is needed more than ever.

As a result of damage to the national grid infrastructure, thousands of Ukrainians are forced to live without power.

According to Zelenskyy, 4.5 million consumers have been disconnected from energy use.

The weakness of our enemy is shown by Russia's use of energy terrorism. They can't break our people on the battlefield.
