Russia and Ukraine blame each other for the attacks
The Zaporizhia nuclear power plant, the largest in Europe and now under Russian control, is again the target of attacks. The latest bombings have once again forced the total disconnection of the facilities. The Ukrainian energy operator Energoatom confirmed early this Saturday that “the last line of communication with the electrical system was disconnected at 00:59 (local time)” and that the atomic plant now works only with diesel generators.
kyiv estimates that it will only be able to function in this way for ten days. “It is necessary to repair and restore the operation of the communication lines of the ZNPP with the electrical system,” says Energoatom in a statement. Russia and Ukraine blame each other for the overnight attacks. kyiv blamed Moscow while the Russian administrator of Zaporizhia, Vladimir Rogov, confirmed the disconnection of the plant “as a result of the bombardment by Ukrainian troops.”
Considered one of the great strategic points of the war, both sides have been accusing each other practically since the beginning of the war of carrying out bombings that constantly hinder the operation of the facility. There are several occasions in which the plant has been forced to be disconnected due to attacks. The last one took place in early September.
