Ukrainian troops subjected the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant (NPP) to massive artillery shelling, damaging strategic facilities, an adviser to the head of Rosenergoatom, a subsidiary of Russian state nuclear energy corporation Rosatom, told Sputnik on Sunday.
"The Ukrainian military launched a massive strike directly at the station. Twelve rockets were fired. It is known that six of them hit the cooling system of reactors, two — hit the dry cask storage [of radioactive waste]. The consequences of the shelling cannot be determined yet since the risk of repeated attacks remains," Renat Karchaa said.
None of the Zaporozhye NPP personnel were injured, according to Karchaa.

- Ukraine misinterprets IAEA resolution as carte blanche to shell ZNPP - Russian diplomat
Ukraine seems to have taken the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) resolution as a carte blanche to shell the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, Russia’s Permanent Representative to the Vienna-based international organizations Mikhail Ulyanov said on Sunday.
"Yesterday and today the Ukrainian armed forces undertook heavy shelling of the ZNPP. Looks like they perceived the recent misleading IAEA BoG resolution sponsored by Canada and Finlandia as a carte blanche for resumption of shelling the biggest nuclear power plant in Europe," he wrote on his Twitter account.
