A high-voltage line supplying the Zaporozhye nuclear plant broke

At the same time, the station's administration confirmed that the fault site is located in the territory under Kiev's control, without a clear time horizon for its repair.

Yevgenia Yashina, director of communications at the station, said in a statement to the "Novosti" agency that the high-voltage line "Virusplavaya-1" (with a power of 330 kilovolts) was damaged, which led to its disconnection from the station. Yashina explained, "The site of the line's damage is located on the right bank of the Dnieper River, on the side under Ukrainian control."

The official indicated that the station management does not currently have any information regarding the schedule for maintenance and restoration work necessary to return the line to service, which leaves the nuclear facility completely dependent on backup energy sources at the present time.
