Ukraine: Kyiv says worker injured in new Russian bombing at Zaporizhia nuclear power plant

Ukraine’s nuclear power company Energoatom said today that a worker was injured when Russian forces again bombed the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant, Europe’s largest, on Saturday night.

The site was hit by rocket attacks, Energoatom said on the Telegram messaging app.

The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) yesterday expressed serious concerns about Friday’s bombing of Zaporizhia in Ukraine, saying the action highlights the risk of a nuclear disaster.

The Zaporizhia factory was occupied by Russian forces in the first stage of the war, but is still operated by Ukrainian technicians.

Both sides accused each other on Saturday of engaging in “nuclear terrorism”.

Energoatom blamed Russia for the damage to the station, while the Russian Defense Ministry blamed Ukrainian forces for the bombing, saying a radioactive leak was avoided only by chance.
