Ukraine's Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, which is currently under Russia's control, lost its connection to external power supply early on Saturday (October 8) as a result of shelling, Ukraine's state nuclear company Energoatom said, blaming Russia, Reuters reports.
Energoatom said the plant was now getting power to cover its own needs from its backup diesel generators.
"The diesel generators started automatically. The available supplies of diesel fuel for their operation in this mode will be enough for 10 days," the company wrote on Telegram.
