Ukraine drone attack kills one in occupied city: Moscow
Ukraine drone attack kills one in occupied city: Moscow

Moscow (AFP) Oct 22, 2024

A Ukrainian drone attack on the Russian-held city of Energodar, home to Europe's largest nuclear power plant, killed one person on Tuesday, a Moscow-installed official said.

Energodar is located in southern Ukraine on the occupied bank of the Dnipro River and fell to Russian forces in the first days of their offensive in 2022.

"As a result of a drone attack by the enemy on Energodar, a cylinder tanker caught fire," Yevgeny Balitsky, the Kremlin-installed head of the occupied part of the Zaporizhzhia region, said on Telegram.

"A petrol station worker, a man born in 1957, died of shrapnel wounds," he added.

Russia and Ukraine regularly accuse each other of violating the safety of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in Energodar.

The Russian-installed leadership at the plant said its safety was not under threat.

"The plant is working normally," Yevgeniya Yashina, a representative of the plant, told Russian news agencies.

Moscow claims the Zaporizhzhia region as its own, despite not controlling it in full.

Since Russia sent troops into Ukraine in 2022, the United Nations' nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, has repeatedly urged restraint, saying it fears reckless military action could trigger a major nuclear accident at the plant.
