Ukraine's embattled Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant's last working reactor has been switched off from the grid after the facility was disconnected from its last remaining power line due to shelling, Ukraine's power plants operator said Monday.
"Power unit (reactor) No. 6 was shut down and disconnected from the grid" because of a fire that was "triggered because of shelling" according to an Energoatom statement.
