Inspectors from the #IAEA are due to assess the damage. #Russia and Ukraine have blamed each other. The #Zaporizhzhiya plant, which is in a Russian-controlled area, is the biggest in Europe. It used to supply a large part of #Ukraine's #electricity, but its reactors are now idle.
Russian forces in southern Ukraine have stepped up their shelling of the recently liberated #Kherson region.
