The Ukrainian energy minister said the nighttime drone and rocket attacks were"the largest attack on the Ukrainian energy sector in recent times." At least three people were killed, officials said.Ukrainian emergency workers clear the debris at the site of Russia's air attack, in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, Friday, March 22, 2024.Ukrainian emergency workers clear the debris at the site of Russia's air attack, in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, Friday, March 22, 2024.
The attacks caused a fire at the Dnipro Hydroelectric Station, which supplies electricity to the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, Europe's largest nuclear power installation.The main 750-kilovolt power line to the plant was cut off, International Atomic Energy Agency head Rafael Grossi said early Friday. A lower-power backup line was working, he said.
The dam at the hydroelectric station was not in danger of breaching, the country's hydroelectric authority said. A dam breach could not only disrupt supplies to the nuclear plant but would potentially cause severe flooding similar to what occurred last year when a major dam at Kakhovka further down the Dnieper collapsed.Attacks on energy facilities in the Kharkiv region caused blackouts, and other attacks were reported in areas of western Ukraine far from the front lines.
