Kyiv (dpa-AFX) – In the Ukrainian city of Enerhodar at the Russian-occupied Zaporizhia nuclear power plant, artillery shells hit again on Sunday. This was announced by Russian and Ukrainian sources. Both sides blamed the other for the shelling. It was unanimously reported that a civilian had been killed.
“Ukraine’s nationalists fired rockets at a residential area of Enerhodar,” the Russian occupation administration said, according to the TASS agency. The city’s Ukrainian mayor, Dmytro Orlow, spoke of a “murderous provocation” by the occupiers. There was no independent confirmation of the incident.
The international community is concerned about the security situation at Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, which has been occupied by Russian troops since March. Experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) are to inspect the nuclear power plant. However, the United Nations, Russia and Ukraine cannot agree on the modalities of the visit./fko/DP/he
