Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant Claims Ukrainian Forces Attacked Nuclear Power Plant Transport Workshop
On June 13, Xinhua News Agency reported from Moscow that the press office of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant announced on social media that the Ukrainian Armed Forces launched an attack on the transportation workshop of the nuclear power plant that day, resulting in damage to three vehicles, the workshop's fuel pump, and the glass windows of the building. The announcement did not specify the nature of the attack.
The announcement stated that there were no casualties from the attack. All systems at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant are operating normally, and radiation levels in the plant and surrounding areas are within normal ranges.
The announcement also mentioned that the Ukrainian military continues to deliberately disrupt the personnel transport and logistics systems of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, and the risk of further attacks on the plant's infrastructure is very high.
The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant is one of the largest nuclear power plants in Europe. After the escalation of the Ukraine crisis in February 2022, Russian forces took control of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. Since then, the plant has been subjected to multiple shelling or drone attacks, raising concerns in the international community about its safety.
Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked the transport workshop of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant on June 13, 2023, damaging three vehicles and infrastructure without causing casualties. The plant's systems remain operational, and radiation levels are normal. The attack highlights ongoing efforts to disrupt the logistics and personnel transport systems at the facility.
