A vehicle depot at the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant has been hit by Ukrainian artillery, according to Russian-installed authorities.
The building and several buses parked inside were damaged, but no injuries were reported, the plant’s administration said on Sunday. It also claimed that a Ukrainian drone was shot down by air defences while approaching the facility.
There was no immediate comment from the Ukrainian side.
The Zaporizhzhya plant, Europe’s largest nuclear power station with six reactors and a capacity of 6,000 megawatts, has been under Russian control since March 2022 and is not currently producing electricity.
Several Ukrainian attempts to retake the site have failed. A team from the International Atomic Energy Agency is permanently stationed at the plant to monitor the situation and help prevent a nuclear accident through its presence.
