Ukrenergo repair crews have fixed and put back into operation a 330 kV high-voltage overhead line that provides a backup power supply to ZNPP. It was damaged during the Russian attack on 4 April.

IAEA experts have been informed by ZNPP that a drone detonated on site today. Such detonation is consistent with IAEA observations.

The plant reportedly suffered at least three direct strikes on April 7, according to the IAEA

The attacks caused a physical impact on one reactor and resulted in one casualty, but nuclear safety was not compromised.

The National Resistance Centre reports that unemployment is growing, consumer prices are high, and salaries for employees of local enterprises in occupied Zaporizhzhia are delayed by up to two months.

Rapid price increases in occupied territories are attributed to the presence of Russian occupation forces and personnel from Russia who receive financial support exceeding local norms.
