The Russian occupation administration of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant said Saturday that no evacuation of site employees was planned for the time being. On the other hand, Russian nationalist writer Zakhar Prilepin, a supporter of the Kremlin attack in Ukraine, was wounded Saturday in the "explosion" of a car in Russia.

Russian authorities plan to evacuate about 70,000 people from localities in the region, according to another occupation administration official, Andrei Kozenko, quoted by TASS.
