Shelling at Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant must stop

1 year ago

More than a dozen powerful explosions have been recorded near a Russian-occupied nuclear power plant in south Ukraine since Saturday evening.

The head of the UN nuclear watchdog, Rafael Grossi, made an urgent appeal for a stop to the fighting at the Zaporizhzhia plant, which is Europe's biggest.

"Whoever is behind this, it must stop immediately," he said. "You're playing with fire!"

The plant stands on the River Dnipro, on the front line in the war.
