Russia has leveled accusations against Ukraine, alleging that an artillery assault was carried out on a thermal power plant under Russian control in southern Ukraine's city of Enerhodar. The attack occurred near the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station, exacerbating tensions in the region.
The strike, which took place late on February 13, has left more than 50,000 residents without electricity. Russian-installed local officials are scrambling to restore power to the affected area. Concerns over the impact on the nuclear facility have been alleviated by officials' assurances that the plant is undamaged and functioning normally.
As the situation develops, restorative measures are being prioritized to ensure the quick resumption of electricity supplies to the city. Reports from Russian news agencies highlight the urgency of the work underway to mitigate the aftermath of the attack.
