Renewed shelling threatens key Ukrainian nuclear plant

LA Times  

A plume of smoke rises during a fire caused by a Russian attack in Kherson, Ukraine, on Saturday. Powerful explosions shook Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region, the site of Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, the global nuclear watchdog said Sunday, calling for “urgent measures to help prevent a nuclear accident” in the Russian-occupied facility. Rafael Mariano Grossi, the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said multiple explosions — on Saturday evening and Sunday morning — abruptly ended a period of relative calm around the nuclear facility that has been the site of fighting between Russian and Ukrainian forces since Russia invaded Feb. 24. Several buildings, systems and equipment at the power plant — none of them critical for the plant’s nuclear safety — were damaged in the shelling, the IAEA said, citing the plant’s management. Ukraine’s state nuclear power operator said Russian forces were behind the shelling of the Zaporizhzhia plant.
