The International Atomic Energy Agency says it received reports of renewed shelling in Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region, the site of Europe’s largest nuclear power plant. The watchdog called for “urgent measures to help prevent a nuclear accident.”
“Whoever is behind this, it must stop immediately,” he said. “As I have said many times before, you’re playing with fire!”
Ukraine’s state nuclear power operator said Russian forces were behind the shelling of the Zaporizhzhia plant. Energoatom said Sunday that the targeted equipment there was consistent with the Kremlin’s intent “to damage or destroy as much of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure as possible” as winter sets in.
Moscow, however, blamed Ukrainian forces. Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov accused the Ukrainians of shelling the power plant twice on Sunday. He also said two shells hit near power lines supplying the plant with electricity.
