Two explosions recorded near a power substation at 7:00, damaging a transit cable and stopping on-air television broadcasting.

Russian occupying forces have placed artillery systems on ZNPP territory and are firing from them.

Energoatom set up a crisis center to respond to potential disaster at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.

The crisis center will coordinate between different ministries and departments, working 24/7 to monitor the situation and prepare for different emergency scenarios.

Two explosions took place in Melitopol, with consequences for the occupiers reported by the mayor.

Occupiers fully control security at the ZNPP... Workers report regular cases of abuse by Russians against them. In particular, employees were deprived of access to the shelter.

The station continues to work under the leadership of 'Energoatom' on the energy system of Ukraine, but not at full capacity, because many lines around it are damaged.
