Russia's nuclear power corporation, Rosatom, accused Ukraine's military on Sunday of launching a series of attacks on the Russian-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station, and the UN's nuclear watchdog called for such incidents to cease immediately.Posted: Apr 07, 2024 8:02 PM EDT | Last Updated: 15 minutes ago
A Ukrainian intelligence official said Kyiv had nothing to do with any strikes on the station, the largest in Europe, and suggested they were the work of Russians themselves.Russian troops seized the plant in the first weeks of the February 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Each side accuses the other of attacking the plant, which lies close to the front lines of the 25-month-old conflict, and risking a nuclear disaster.
Russian Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova urged world leaders to condemn the act of "nuclear terrorism." The IAEA, which has experts at the site, reported on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, that there had been a single casualty.
