The Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked the shop of the Zaporizhia NPP in the area of the Raduga substation

The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) attacked the building of the electrical networks workshop of the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) in the industrial zone of Energodar, near the Raduga substation. This was reported on June 26 in the Telegram channel of the station.

"For the second day in a row, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been attacking the facilities of the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant, part of Rosatom. As a result of another attack, the building of the electrical grid workshop located in the industrial zone of Energodar, in the area of the Raduga substation, was damaged, the report says.

It is specified that the damage received is not critical. There were no casualties as a result of the incident. Experts have already begun to assess the consequences of the shelling in order to carry out the necessary restoration work.

Any deliberate attacks on the plant's facilities, even outside its main industrial site, pose additional potential threats to the safe operation of Europe's largest nuclear facility, the NPPU said.
