Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant loses external power supply, Russian-installed management says
Energoatom said 16 blackouts this year show the plant remains vulnerable to cooling and radiation risks under Russian occupation.
- On Sunday, the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant lost its external power supply after the Ferosplavna power line was disconnected by protective systems due to damage. Backup diesel generators were activated to supply power to equipment required for safe operation.
- Management stated staff at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant are "monitoring all operational parameters of the equipment" and that "all necessary measures to maintain the safe condition of the power units are being taken in full."
- Radiation levels on the site and in the surveillance zone remain normal, the facility's management confirmed. Backup diesel generators continue supplying power to Zaporizhzhia equipment required for safe operation.
- Meanwhile, a Russian overnight attack on energy facilities in Ukraine's eastern Dnipropetrovsk region left more than 600,000 people without electricity, Ukrainian power company DTEK said on Sunday. Important energy facilities were damaged in the strike.
- The Russian Defense Ministry confirmed additional strikes on energy infrastructure in the Zhytomyr region and near Odesa, while a Ukrainian drone attack in the Kursk region killed one person, regional governor Alexander Khinshtein said on Sunday.
