Overview
- The Russian-appointed leadership of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant said its transport shop was hit, reporting six buses and two Gazelle vehicles damaged and the station continuing to operate normally.
- Rosatom's director general previously alleged a Ukrainian combat drone struck the machine hall of unit 6 and claimed the drone was guided by fiber‑optic cable, a technical assertion not independently confirmed.
- Ukraine’s Southern Defence Forces and the Foreign Ministry denied carrying out strikes and said no weapons were used at the relevant front section, calling the accusations absurd.
- Independent access to the plant is restricted under Russian control, which prevents outside monitors from verifying the latest damage reports or technical claims.
- The repeated official accusations about attacks on buses used by plant staff raise direct safety concerns for workers and increase the risk that information disputes could escalate operational tensions at the facility.
