Head of the State Administration of the Zaporozhye region: NPP is operating normally, power lines have been restored

“Now the power lines have been restored, the substation, which was damaged, has been restored.

The blocks are safe, the station is operating normally,” Balitsky said on the air of the Russia 24 TV channel.

The head of the CAA also indicated that air defense facilities will be strengthened to protect the nuclear power plant.

Earlier, Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov said that by attacking the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, Ukrainian militants endanger the population of all of Europe.

The Russian Ministry of Defense called the strikes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the territory of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant nuclear terrorism.

According to the ministry, on August 7, due to shelling from the Ukrainian Armed Forces, a power surge occurred at the Zaporizhzhya NPP, which caused smoke on the open switchgear of the station.
