Russian rocket and artillery strikes hit areas across the Dnieper River from Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, Ukrainian officials said Sunday, as fears persisted that fighting in the vicinity could damage the plant and cause a radiation leak.
Russian forces took control of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant soon after the war began and hold adjacent territory along the left bank of the wide river. Ukraine controls the right bank, including the cities of Nikopol and Marhanets, each of them about 10 kilometers (six miles) from the plant.
Heavy firing during the night left parts of Nikopol without electricity, said Valentyn Reznichenko, governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region. Rocket strikes damaged about a dozen residences in Marhanets, according to Yevhen Yevtushenko, the administration head for the district that includes the city of about 45,000.
The city of Zaporizhzhia, about 40 kilometers (25 miles) upriver from the nuclear plant, also came under fire during the night, wounding two people, city council member Anatoliy Kurtev said.
In eastern Ukraine, where Russian and separatist forces are trying to take control, shelling hit the large and strategically significant cities of Kramatorsk and Sloviansk, but no casualties were reported, said Pavlo Kyrylenko, governor of the Donetsk region.

Authorities last week began distributing iodine tablets to residents who live near the Zaporizhzhia plant in case of radiation exposure, which can cause health problems.
Much of the concern centers on the cooling systems for the plant’s nuclear reactors. The systems require power to run, and the plant was temporarily knocked offline Thursday because of what officials said was fire damage to a transmission line. A cooling system failure could cause a nuclear meltdown.

If you want on or off this list, please let me know.
Your list is bullcrap. You are NOT anti war you are pro Russian war in Europe.
And your twisting of “anti war” to support Russia launching war in Europe demonstrates that you are the new leftist dupes.
Anti war my ass.
And btw I’m not anti war, just like Rush Limbaugh who always recognized the need to use force to preserve freedom.
Nonsense.
I’m for the U.S. staying out of this civil war. Not one cent, not one soldier, not one weapon for the corrupt Ukrainian regime under the globalist puppet Zelensky.
This is a view shared by over 90% of FReepers recently polled.
If you so desperately wish to go fight your Emmanuel Goldstein, take the next flight to Ukraine and show us how it’s done. Otherwise, we don’t want WW3 being brought to our country.
As an addendum, WHOSE freedom are you “preserving” ?
That’s exactly what the Putin decided to do after Biden poked.....
Fieldmarshaldj can you add me to your list?
Williams not liking it means I need to sign up.
Reducing the war in Ukraine to $$$ is insidious neo isolationist clap trap
You got it. Remember, it’s a high-volume list.
It’s also exclusive, as we don’t allow Sorosbots on it. One just tried to get on it.
When are you leaving to fight, Burt ? Since being opposed to this civil war is such “insidious neo isolationist clap trap”, I expect you to be heading over to Ukraine to fight at once. Just let us know when you’re leaving.
Blah blah blah same old bull shit yada yada yada
There is a real world out from the perimeter of your rock
You know you’re a useless idiot for putin right? If zero value and he’d probably kill you in the old Russian tradition of how they treat their allies
Notice that bar not moving much? This site has turned into the Kremlin klub and that’s the result
You didn’t answer the question, Bert.
