Russia's defence ministry said on Monday that Ukraine had shelled the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station on Aug. 7, damaging high-voltage power lines and forcing the plant to reduce its output.
Kyiv has denied targeting the plant. Ukraine's state nuclear power company Energoatom said on Sunday that a worker was wounded when Russian forces shelled the power station, the biggest in Europe, on Saturday evening. Reuters was unable to verify the battlefield reports.
