Several people were killed and several dozen wounded, in an attack with Russian missiles on the city of Zaporizhzhia, in the south-east of Ukraine, the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces announced on Sunday. The attack took place on Saturday to Sunday night, with the Russians bombing blocks of flats and streets in a residential neighborhood. The city is located next to the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, now controlled by Russia. Kyiv and Moscow have blamed each other for the bombing of the compound run by Ukrainian personnel, which damaged buildings and raised fears of a catastrophic nuclear accident. The International Atomic Energy Agency has condemned the recent bombings near the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, which led to the disconnection of the plant from Ukraine’s electricity grid, according to the operator of the complex. Resuming the attacks is an „extremely irresponsible” gesture, said the director of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi. The plant currently relies on diesel generators.
