More than a dozen explosions rattled Europe's largest nuclear power plant over the weekend, as renewed shelling around the Ukrainian facility rekindled fears of a possible accident — or even a deliberate strike — that could cause a catastrophic release of radiation. The shelling around Ukraine's sprawling, Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant came as the head of the United Nations' nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), warned in a "60 Minutes" interview that "urgent action" was needed to ease the "unprecedented" security threat posed by fighting around the facility.
In an exclusive interview, one of the workers held hostage by the Russian forces who've controlled the plant for months told CBS News the latest shelling had caused serious damage to the plant, and he said it appeared to have been a planned attack on the facility.
He said the angle and direction from which the shells came indicated they were fired from Russian military positions, not Ukrainian forces on the other side of the nearby front lines. The worker, who CBS News cannot identify due to the threat that he and his colleagues have worked under since Russia seized the plant early in its war on Ukraine, said he believed Russian forces had also detonated an explosive inside the facility.

“Ukraine nuclear power plant attacked by Russia, worker tells CBS News, as IAEA warns of “close call””
Note that the headline includes both IAEA and the absurd claim that Russia is shelling its own power plant. The technique here is to plant in people’s minds something that is TOTALLY FALSE, which is that the IAEA has concluded that Russia is doing the shelling.
bttt
Oh wait, you mean like when the Russians were shelling themselves in their own long held Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant”
Ah. Got it.
Thanks.
You mean the Ukrainian attack on Zaporozhye Nuclear power that happened right after the Ukrainian Poland missile debacle where ZelenskyyIdiot utterly failed to convince NATO/US to directly wage war against Russia and start WWIII.....
Close call, huh. Yeah, because they have such a great record of never going off target.
pdate on Russian military operations in Ukraine for November 21, 2022
- Russian makes incremental gains in the Donbass region; - Ukraine’s power grid continues to degrade under Russian missile and drone strikes;
- Ukraine continues denying responsibility for missile strike in Poland;
- US claims NASAMS air defense systems performed at 100% effectiveness, provide no numbers or proof of this claim; - There are not enough NASAMS arriving in Ukraine over the next several years to protect Ukraine from further Russian missile and drone salvos;
- Ukraine has more or less abandoned Kherson city;
- US DoD admits Ukraine cannot achieve its main objective of expelling Russia;
- Failure to achieve Ukraine’s objective while continuing to fight and lose men and equipment equates to demilitarization;
But, you're a special kind of stupid, Timber.
How much of a FOOL would you have to be to believe the russians shelled their own positions, risking radioactive fall-out?
What is it with these retard Russian shit_fer_brains? I can only assume that the vodka is still flowing into Zaporizhzhia where these clowns are occupying. Weapons and vodka is not a good mix.
