MOSCOW, May 31 (Xinhua) -- Ukraine struck a transport workshop at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), damaging vehicles at the site, the plant's operator said on Sunday.
Six buses and two GAZelle vehicles were destroyed in the attack. No plant personnel were injured, it said.
Although Ukrainian attacks have repeatedly targeted the transport workshop and vehicles stationed there in recent months, the plant continues to operate normally, with all technological parameters under constant monitoring and operational safety fully maintained, the operator said.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian drones also struck Enerhodar, the satellite city of the nuclear plant, local authorities said.
Several drones hit residential buildings, the city administration building and vehicles parked in residential courtyards, the municipal administration said.
Russia's state nuclear corporation Rosatom said on Saturday that a Ukrainian drone hit the turbine island of Unit 6 at the ZNPP, but Ukraine's Southern Defense Forces denied Russia's allegation. International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Grossi expressed serious concern over the reported strike, warning that attacks on nuclear facilities are "like playing with fire."
The Zaporizhzhia plant, one of Europe's largest nuclear power facilities, has been under Russian control since March 2022. ■
