Renewed shelling at Ukrainian nuclear plant as UN body prepares visit

As an expert team from the UN’s nuclear watchdog prepared to visit, Russian occupation forces accused Ukrainian troops of shelling at the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant that resulted in new damage to the site.

“The national units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces fired artillery close to the reactor units of the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant,” the Russian military administration in the city of Enerhodar in southern Ukraine said on Monday, dpa news agency reported, citing the Interfax news agency.
