“The shelling was carried out from the firing positions of the Ukrainian troops in the areas of the settlements of Nikopol, Marganets, Vyshetarasovka and Chervonogrigorovka, located on the opposite bank of the Kakhovka reservoir,” the ministry said in a statement.
The response fire of the artillery of the Russian Armed Forces suppressed the firepower of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, they noted there.
As Vladimir Rogov, a member of the main council of the military-civilian administration of the Zaporozhye region, said earlier, the shutdown of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant due to shelling from Ukraine will be a mortal blow for the Ukrainian economy.
RT correspondent Aleksey Repin was the first journalist to visit the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant and showed numerous evidence of Ukrainian shelling of the station.
