News - Middle East: Russian authorities say the Ukrainian military has bombarded a nuclear plant in the southeast part of Ukraine.

On Sunday, authorities at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Station, located near the city of Enerhodar, said a strike by Ukrainian forces damaged administrative buildings inside the complex. “The Ukrainian army carried out an attack with a cluster bomb fired from an Uragan rocket launcher.”

TASS state news agency cited the authorities as saying the projectiles fell within 400 meters of a working reactor. They said the strike inflicted damage on some administrative buildings and fell in a “zone storing used nuclear fuel.”

Zaporizhzhia is the largest nuclear power plant in Europe and among the 10 largest in the world. Russian forces seized the plant soon after Moscow launched its ongoing military operation in Ukraine on February 24. Ukraine accuses Russia of storing heavy weapons in the plant, while the Kremlin accuses Kiev of targeting the plant.
