Ukrainian UAV caused fire in Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant area: Russia

Moscow, Aug 12 (IANS) Russia on Monday accused Ukraine of shelling the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) which resulted in fire in the area of one of the cooling towers.

“Tonight an attack by a Ukrainian UAV caused fire in the area of cooling systems of the Zaporozhskaya NPP. Russia will insist that IAEA names the perpetrator of this attack in the area of the ZNPP. Further silencing of this fact only condones Kyiv’s sense of impunity,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said on Monday while forwarding a statement from the country’s Permanent Mission in Vienna.
