VIENNA, March 24 (Xinhua) -- The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) lost the connection to its 750 kv Dniprovska line on Tuesday, and is only depending on its sole back-up line for external power, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said on social media.
The IAEA has initiated discussions with both Russia and Ukraine on establishing local ceasefire to allow repairs of the damaged power line, according to IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi.
The IAEA team is monitoring the situation at the nuclear plant, Grossi said.
The Zaporizhzhia plant, one of Europe's largest nuclear facilities, has been under Russian control since March 2022. ■
