Ukraine Shells Zaporozhye Thermal Plant, Threatening NPP Safety - Rosatom

Russian sources, including Rosatom and the Foreign Ministry, claim multiple Ukrainian drone strikes on the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) and adjacent thermal plant facilities, including a laboratory, radioactive waste facility, and power supply infrastructure. These claims, largely unverified by independent sources, suggest a significant escalation in targeting critical nuclear infrastructure, though Russia asserts no immediate threat to nuclear safety. The operational impact and extent of damage remain unclear.

Rosatom claims Ukrainian forces conducted overnight strikes on the Zaporozhye NPP's laboratory and radioactive waste processing facility, asserting no immediate nuclear safety threat. These claims are unverified by independent sources, and the operational status of the plant remains uncertain. Rosatom also alleges two weeks of shelling on the adjacent Zaporozhye Thermal Power Plant by Ukrainian forces.
