Russian forces are shooting at a nuclear research facility in the city of Kharkiv, the Ukrainian parliament said in a Twitter post on Saturday.
“Currently, it is impossible to estimate the extent of damage due to hostilities that do not stop in the area of the nuclear facility,” the post said citing the State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate.
Kharkiv is Ukraine’s second largest city and has been under constant attack by Russian troops since the start of the invasion.
UN convened Russia
This week, the UN nuclear agency (United Nations), the International Atomic Energy Agency, called out Russia for bombing areas where employees working at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant live.
In a statement on Thursday evening (24), the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said that the Ukrainian regulator had reported that “Russian forces were bombing Ukrainian checkpoints in the city of Slavutych, where many people who live work at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.”
