"On August 7, the Zelensky regime committed a new act of nuclear terrorism at energy infrastructure facilities of the Zaporozhye NPP to create a humanitarian disaster in the Kherson and Zaporozhye Regions," the spokesman said.
The Zaporozhye NPP was bombarded by units of the Ukrainian army’s 44th artillery brigade at about 12:40 from the settlement of Marganets located on the opposite bank of the Kakhovka reservoir, the general specified.
Ukraine’s shelling attack damaged the high-voltage electric power line that supplied electricity to the Zaporozhye and Kherson Regions, Konashenkov said.
"The Zaporozhye NPP experienced a voltage surge that caused smoke at the station’s outdoor switchgear unit. The protection system was also activated, switching off electric power supply," the spokesman said.
The Zaporozhye NPP’s technical personnel lowered the capacity of the station’s 5th and 6th power units to 500 MW to prevent disruption in its operation, Konashenkov reported.
It was reported on August 7 that the Ukrainian military continued bombarding the premises of the Zaporozhye NPP currently controlled by the Russian troops. The military-civilian administration of the town of Energodar where the Zaporozhye NPP is located reported that striking fragments of a rocket launched overnight to August 7 fell at a distance of not more than 400 meters from the operating reactor.
At least one individual was killed in the Kiev regime’s bombardment. All the fires were promptly extinguished. It was also reported that problems emerged with water supply after the water supply system was damaged in the shelling.

Ukrainian forces have been accused by the Kremlin of shelling the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, warning of potential “catastrophic consequences” for Europe.
ReplyDelete“The shelling of the territory of the nuclear plant by the Ukrainian armed forces is a potentially extremely dangerous activity… fraught with catastrophic consequences for a vast area, including the territory of Europe,” Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated to reporters.
According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the Ukrainian army sabotaged a high-voltage power line that provides electricity to nearby regions, which sparked a “power surge” at the station, causing smoke in a switchgear used to protect electrical equipment.
Firefighters at the scene however were able to stop the smoke, the Ministry stated.
