The Kyiv regime continues shelling the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, which creates a threat of a man-made disaster, said the official representative of the Russian Defense Ministry, Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov.

According to him, on November 19, the artillery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine fired 11 large-caliber shells at the facility, on the morning of November 20 - 14 shells.

Eight ammunition exploded between the fifth power unit and special building No. 2, three hit between the fourth and fifth power units, one hit the roof of special building No. 2, and two more along the power line that feeds the power plant.

“The shooting was carried out from the area of ​​​​the settlement of Marganets, Dnipropetrovsk region, controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The enemy's firepower was suppressed by return fire from Russian artillery units.

The radiation situation in the area of ​​the nuclear power plant remains normal.

The consequences of damage as a result of artillery shelling of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be clarified after the examination of the territory of the station by experts from the IAEA and Rosatom, Konashenkov emphasized.

As Renat Karchaa, adviser to the General Director of the Rosenergoatom Concern, pointed out in a conversation with TASS, fresh spent nuclear fuel is stored in the special building No. 2 of the Zaporizhzhya NPP.

In turn, Ramzan Kadyrov in his Telegram channel published a video of the shelling of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which was sent to him by the commander of the OMON "Akhmat" of the department of the Russian Guard in the Chechen Republic Anzor Bisaev.

“The nuclear threat does not come from Russia, but from the criminal Kyiv regime, which gives these orders day after day.

It is necessary to understand that the real enemy of humanity is sitting at the side of Europe, using their immense support.

Zelensky, along with his nationalist gang and everyone who supports him, are real terrorists and enemies of the world community, with whom there can be no conversations, ”wrote the head of Chechnya.

Meanwhile, the website of the International Atomic Energy Agency published a statement by Director General Rafael Grossi, who called for an "immediate stop" to the shelling of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.

“The news from our team yesterday and this morning is extremely disturbing.

There were explosions at the site of this large nuclear power plant, which is completely unacceptable.

Whoever is behind this should stop immediately.

As I have said many times, you are playing with fire, ”the message says.
