MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Ukrainian combat drones attacked the cargo port area and a nitrogen-oxygen station of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) on Friday, the station’s press office said, adding that the incident did not result in any significant damage.
"Ukrainian combat drone attacks have been recorded in the Zaporozhye NPP area recently. In particular, areas of the cargo port and the second nitrogen-oxygen station of Zaporozhye NPP were hit today," the office said in a statement, adding that the ZNPP’s critical infrastructure was not damaged.
The station’s press office called all attacks on the ZNPP and its facilities unacceptable.

Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant is located on the left bank of the Dnepr River and is the largest nuclear power plant in Europe. It came under the control of Russian forces in early March 2022 and has since been repeatedly shelled, raising international concerns over a possible nuclear accident. IAEA experts have been working at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant since September 1, 2022, following IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi's first visit to the facility.
