Ukraine says Russia is storing weapons at Europe's biggest nuclear plant

Synopsis

Ukraine's nuclear agency reports that Russia is using the captured Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Southeastern Ukraine to store weapons and launch attacks. The agency's President states that hundreds of Russian troops control the facility, which has become a base for shelling nearby regions, including the city of Dnipro. A recent Ukrainian government video shows a Russian missile strike on Dnipro, resulting in three fatalities. This attack is part of a series of assaults on urban areas that have claimed dozens of lives. In Mykolaiv, Russian missile strikes have caused significant destruction, with emergency teams working to extinguish fires and search for survivors. Additionally, a Russian attack on the central town of Vinnytsia resulted in multiple casualties, with reports of three rockets hitting civilian targets, including a medical center and a concert hall. Ukrainian authorities accuse Russia of deliberately targeting civilians, while Russia denies these claims.
