Ukraine’s state energy operator has warned that there is a risk of a radioactive leak at the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine, APA reports citing The Guardian.
Moscow’s troops have “repeatedly shelled” the site of the nuclear plant over the past day, Energoatom said.
As of midday on Saturday local time (9 am GMT), the plant “operates with the risk of violating radiation and fire safety standards”, the operator said in a statement.
Energoatom said:
"As a result of periodic shelling, the infrastructure of the station has been damaged, there are risks of hydrogen leakage and sputtering of radioactive substances, and the fire hazard is high."
