Russia Claims Ukraine Struck Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant Workshop

(MENAFN) Russia on Saturday leveled fresh accusations against Ukraine, alleging that Kyiv had targeted a transport workshop at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) in a strike that caused measurable damage to the occupied facility.

The Russian-installed management overseeing the ZNPP said the attack left three vehicles, fuel pumps, and the glass panels of the workshop building damaged — though plant officials were quick to stress that core operations had not been compromised.

"The plant's safe operation is ensured, and all necessary systems are functioning normally. Radiation levels within the plant and its surrounding area remain within normal limits," the administration said.

The reassurances, however, were accompanied by a stark warning. "At present, the threat of further attacks on the plant's infrastructure remains high," the administration said on Russian social media company Max.

Officials further noted that the facility remains under the full supervision of its trained personnel, with day-to-day functions continuing uninterrupted despite the reported assault.

Kyiv has not responded to the allegations, and the fog of war has made independent verification of the claims impossible.

Monitors from the UN nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), have maintained a continuous presence at the ZNPP since September 1, 2022. Russia has held military control over the plant since March of that year.
