Ukrainian authorities accused Russian troops of detonating ammo at Europe's largest nuclear power plant

Russian troops were accused of detonating their weapons at the nuclear power plant.

In a statement, the communications center of Ukraine claimed that Russian forces blew up explosives next to the nuclear plant and that authorities were waiting for a response from the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Russian forces plan to continue with explosions at the plant, and staff fled, according to Ukrainian officials.

11 people from Russia's state atomic energy corporation were at the nuclear plant when the explosions were reported, according to a Telegram statement.

It is obvious that the detonation of ammunition on the site of the station is carried out with their direct participation, according to the statement.

All established international rules and requirements for nuclear and radiation safety are violated by this company.

The parliament of Ukraine said on Monday that Russia planned to start firing on the site of the station near the ruins of the training center.

The nuclear plant was seized by the Russian military after a battle with Ukrainian forces. Russia was denied access to the plant by civilians who blocked nearby roads.

Radiation levels remained stable despite a fire at the plant.

The energy officials fromRosatom arrived at the plant on Saturday.

Russian forces have closed in on a nuclear plant in Yuzhnoukrainsk.

As Russia continues its assault on Ukraine, the IAEA warned last week of an "unprecedented danger" of a nuclear disaster.
