Russian army thwarts attack on Zaporozhye nuclear power plant

Moscow (ST): The Russian Ministry of Defense announced today that a group of Ukrainian saboteurs attacked Russian forces while they were conducting security patrols in the vicinity of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.

According to a ministry statement: “The Kiev regime attempted to carry out a very brutal provocation near the station, when this morning a mobile patrol of the Russian National Guard was attacked with light weapons by Ukrainian saboteurs while it was patrolling the protected area adjacent to the station.”

 The statement explained that “the saboteurs were hiding in an educational and training complex consisting of several floors and located outside the power station, where they fired heavy fire from the windows, and the Russian forces responded to the source of the fire and silenced it, forcing the Ukrainian saboteurs to flee from the building after they set it on fire and burned it while fleeing.”.

In turn, a spokesman for the Russian National Guard announced today that the fire was extinguished and there were no civilians, stressing that the situation at the Zaporozhye nuclear plant is under control and that the employees working at the station continue their work as usual.
