Renewed fighting between Ukraine and Russia near the Zaporizhzhia power plant has again raised concerns from experts about the possibility of a nuclear accident.
Experts at the power plant said that more than a dozen blasts were heard within a 40-minute period on Sunday morning local time, according to an update from the International Atomic Energy Agency, which reported that site management reported “damage in several places.
The perpetrators firing at the plant are “taking huge risks and gambling with many people’s lives,” he added. “Once again, we were fortunate that a potentially serious nuclear incident did not happen. Next time, we may not be so lucky. We must do everything in our power to make sure there is no next time.”
