Ukraine nuclear plant shelled again despite bid for Moscow-Kyiv patch up

In what has been described as another “close call” for Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) located in the middle of a war zone between Russia and Ukraine has witnessed some intense shelling over the past 72 hours, including some explosions occurring near the reactors.

While Russia alleged that the Ukrainian armed forces fired 11 large-caliber artillery shells on the territory of the nuclear power plant currently controlled by it, Ukraine’s state-owned nuclear operator Energoatom stated that at least 12 “hits” from Russian military were recorded at the ZNPP site on Sunday.
