Power cut to Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant after wave of Russian missiles hit Ukraine - BBC News

Power has been cut to Europe's largest nuclear power plant in Zaporizhzhia after missiles hit several areas and cities across Ukraine.

Ukraine claims Russia fired at least 80 missiles, hitting cities such as Lviv in western Ukraine.

The head of the UN's nuclear watchdog said: "Each time we are rolling a dice... one day our luck will run out", after a strike took out the power supply to the nuclear plant in Zaporizhzhia.

Russia fired over 80 missiles and fewer than 10 civilians died which is a tragedy but i know gangs that kill way more in one night where i live using pistols.

[bluedragontoybash]

isn't Russia running out of missile like 6 month ago ?

[geoffbirchall]

Are Russian targets not being targeted? 🤔Why only push your side of the story?

These things happen when Russian shovels are thrown at hypersonic speeds by Wagner's convict mercenaries.

Note how long it’s taken Russia to obtain replacement rockets and missiles. 😮

The mDL can be used at airport security and some grocery stores and banks.

Why they don't shut down the power plant?

[sassy]

I thought nuclear power plants go critical without electricity?

[warringtribes]

That is what you get for being a pawn of masters sitting in London and Washington.

Looks like Ukraine intercepted 78 out of 80 missiles fired by Russia but the 2 missiles that managed to pass through the air defenses managed to reach and destroy 20 of their intended targets, power infrastructure

[chadimirputin]

Wasn't me, I ran out of missiles in March. 🙃

[Abaygains]

Okay it's been a week have they got the power back to it or

[ypyp]

How can a missile take 1 hour, they travel at 7km/s. Has to be nonsense.
420 km/minute or 4200km in 10 minutes. In an hour they could go round the circumference of the earth.

[thenorthwestpassage]

But I thought they ran out of missiles🤣

[woildee]

Isn't the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant currently occupied by Russians?

[SA-ffuc]

Hahaha. So many lies. Why would a power station need electricity? It makes electricity.

[naumanhameed]

Didn't BBC not recently say that Russia were out of missiles?

[fhcwmiy]

Ukranazis really need to a stop attacking this power plant and consider it out of bounds, we do not need another Chernobyl Ukraine! I understand you want to escalate things but at taking this place is just sheer stupidity!

[Kaidus]

Question. Are Ukrainian soldiers mixing in with civilians. So Russia “strategically strike” certain buildings. Kinda like US drone strikes in the Middle East which causes casualties?
