Source Reports

On the morning of 3 November, Energoatom stated that the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant has been left without power.

Russian forces at the occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant will soon try to connect the plant's communication lines to annexed Crimea, occupied parts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts.

Russia's strike was another attempt to make the Zaporizhzhia plant a part of the Russian energy system.

Russian S-300 missiles took 45-50 seconds to reach Zaporizhzhia, leaving air defense insufficient time to intercept them.

Sirens in Zaporizhzhia turn on only 10-15 seconds before missile explosions due to the short flight time.
