Live Updates: Russia-Ukraine-War

By The Associated Press

Ukraine’s state nuclear operator has warned that power outages and other emergency situations at the Russia-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant could happen again any time. Energoatom press office says “Russia has seized the plant and is not taking any steps to de-escalate, on the contrary, it is shelling important infrastructure daily.” The plant was without external power on Wednesday in the second such incident in five days, raising fears of potential leaks because critical safety systems need electricity to operate. The only operating power line, one of eight, was damaged by the Russian shelling of an electrical substation near the city of Marhanets across the Dnieper River from the plant.
