The town of Energodar, where the Zaporizhia NPP is located,is experiencing intermittent communications and problems with food deliveries. The local government is organising meals for residents in critical situations.
In the Zaporizhzhia region, the Russian troops opened fire on a Ukrainian Post (Ukrposhta) mail delivery truck that was delivering pensions to remote locations, and ran it over with a tank. Two post office workers were killed in the attack.
Russian occupying forces are still in control of the perimeter of Enerhodar, the town in the Zaporizhia region where the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant is located.
The lawful government of Energodar has returned to the Town Hall building. The city will be patrolled by local residents, but it is not yet possible to evacuate the residents of Energodar safely.
Ukraine's Nuclear Energy Agency Energoatom published a video showing the damage to the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) in Enerhodar as a result of last night's shelling by Russian invading forces.
One power unit is working at the occupied Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant (NPP) and the staff have been allowed to return to work, but all six power units contain nuclear fuel and if they are hit by a missile, the consequences will be catastrophic.
The mayor of the Ukrainian city Energodar, Dmytro Orlov, said that about 100 units of Russian troops have entered the city. Residents are trying to resist, and the battle continues at the checkpoint.
The Russian occupiers who surrounded Enerhodar and the territory of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) are trying to persuade city authorities to allow them on the site of the nuclear power plant to take pictures, after which they promise to leave.
Residents of Energodar in the Zaporizhzhya region came out to stop the invaders from entering the city. They waved Ukrainian flags and were determined not to let the enemy into the city.
In the occupied city of Berdyans'k in Zaporizhia region, patriotic local residents have succeeded in getting the Russian military to leave the city executive committee building and in ensuring that Ukrainian flags continue to fly over the city.
