Russia accuses Ukraine of bombing road near Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant

The Russian management of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant said on Saturday a Ukrainian drone dropped an explosive charge on a road outside the plant, endangering its staff who use the road, the TASS news agency reported.

Russia has been in control of the Zaporizhzhia plant, the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, since soon after it launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Moscow and Kyiv have repeatedly accused each other of trying to sabotage its operations.
