Russia's Defense Ministry said on Thursday that Ukrainian troops which landed on the coast of the Kakhovka reservoir tried to seize the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, APA reports citing Sputnik.
"At about 7 am Moscow time, units of the Russian armed forces thwarted an attempt to land a tactical assault force of the armed forces of Ukraine on two self-propelled barges that left Nikopol a few kilometers from the ZNPP. As a result of the fire damage to the Russian armed forces, two self-propelled barges were sunk," noted MoD.
