“In the period from 17:15 to 17:41, 12 strikes were made on the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, while we are talking about the perimeter of the plant itself, and not about the industrial zone and other territories adjacent to the plant,” TASS quoted him as saying.

He clarified that six hits fell on the spray pool, which is part of the nuclear power plant's cooling system.

Two more hits were in the square of the dry storage of nuclear waste and three more hits in the area of ​​checkpoint-2.

Earlier, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said that concern about the safety of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant is growing every day against the backdrop of shelling and power outages.
