Energodar loses power after attack

The city of Energodar, which houses the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), has lost its external power supply following an attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). Critical infrastructure and social facilities are now operating on backup diesel generators. The incident raises concerns about the stability of power for the nuclear facility, which requires a constant external electricity supply for cooling and safety systems. This attack is part of the ongoing conflict around the ZNPP, the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, which has been under Russian control since early 2022.
