The Ukrainian nuclear energy operator accuses the Russian army of having deployed missile launchers at the site of the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine, in particular to fire on the regions of Nikopol and Dnipro, where strikes were reported on the night of Friday July 15 to Saturday July 16.
“The situation is extremely tense and the tension is increasing day by day. The occupiers are bringing their machinery there, including missile systems with which they have already struck across the Dnipro river and into the territory of Nikopol”80 km south-west of Zaporizhia, said Petro Kotin, president of Energoatom, on Telegram. Up to 500 Russian soldiers are still at the plant site, which they “control”. Ukraine’s largest power plant fell to Russian forces in early March, shortly after the February 24 invasion of Ukraine.
Almost the entire country was placed on air alert for the night and several bombings were listed from official sources, but also unofficial, on social networks, such as in the Mykolayev or Donetsk regions.
