Atomic watchdog is seeking access to Zaporizhzhia, Europe’s largest atomic energy plant, after fresh shelling damages radiation sensors and injures worker
UN secretary general António Guterres has called for international inspectors to be given access to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant afterand Russia traded accusations over the shelling of Europe’s largest atomic plant at the weekend.
Ukraine said renewed Russian shelling on Saturday had damaged three radiation sensors and hurt a worker at the Zaporizhzhia power plant, the second hit in consecutive days on the site. “Ukrainian nationalists launched an artillery strike on the territory of the specified object on Aug. 5. Two high-voltage power lines and a water pipeline were damaged as a result of the shelling. Only thanks to the effective and timely actions of the Russian military in covering the nuclear power facility, its critical infrastructure was not affected,” the embassy said.
It has not been possible to independently determine which side was responsible for the attack on the power station.
