Kyiv: Russian forces have seized the Zaporizhzhia, Europe’s largest nuclear power plant in Ukraine, the regional authority said on Friday.
“Operational personnel are monitoring the condition of power units,” it said on social media, while quoting the Ukrainian nuclear inspectorate.
Efforts are being made to ensure the operations were in line with safety requirements, it said.
A fire, which had broken out in a training building in the plant, has been extinguished, Ukraine’s state emergency service had earlier said on Friday.
Ukraine has said Russian forces attacked the plant in the early hours of Friday, setting an adjacent five-story training facility on fire.
