Ukraine war: Fears over Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, and major damage at Crimea airbase

BBC News:

Concern is mounting over around Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant after fresh strikes hit the compound – which the UN warned could “lead to disaster”.

Staff at the plant told the BBC’s James Waterhouse they were being held hostage at gunpoint by Russians using it as a military base.

Zaporizhzhia, the largest nuclear plant in Europe, was seized by Russia in March but is still operated by Ukrainian technicians.

Two workers said they were under “constant stress”, and feared nuclear catastrophe.

Both Russia and Ukraine blamed each other for 10 hits on the plant’s administrative office and fire station on Thursday – but the reactor buildings were not hit.
