⚡️On August 5, 2022, between 16.20 and 17.24, Ukrainian armed formations carried out three artillery strikes on the territory of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant and Energidar city. A total of twenty 152-mm shells were fired. ▫️The shelling was carried…
Today, the Armed Forces of Ukraine fired twice at the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, the second time a fire started due to hits. Energodar turned out to be de-energized, electricity and water disappeared in the city. Also, a garage cooperative came under fire from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the cars of Energodar residents were damaged.

▪️Ukrainian shells hit an open switchgear (OSD), through which electricity from the station is distributed in different directions: to Zaporozhye, Melitopol, Nikopol. Most likely, the Ukrainian gunners were aiming at the new section of the outdoor switchgear, through which electricity is supplied to Kakhovka.

▪️Due to the hits, the equipment of power unit No. 3 was de-energized and the power at power unit No. 4 had to be reduced. The shells damaged the hydrogen pipeline, and hydrogen ignited.

▪️It was through Kakhovka that it was planned to connect the ZNPP to the Russian power grid. In case of damage to the outdoor switchgear section, part of the Kherson region may remain without electricity.

▪️Now power supply is being restored in Energodar. Water supply will also start soon.

Residents of Energodar report about the shelling of Grad by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Information about the destruction and casualties is being specified.

@rybar
Information about the night shelling of Melitopol turned out to be untrue: according to local residents, it was quiet in the city today. The news turned out to be a throw-in of Ukrainian resources with reference to the local “mayor”, who left the settlement at the beginning of the SMO.

The video of the fire was also old. Melitopol was indeed shelled on the night of August 8: the Armed Forces of Ukraine fired several Tochka-U missiles into the city, which were shot down by Russian air defense. It was not possible to intercept only one ammunition, but its arrival also did not lead to casualties.

⚡️🏳️‍🌈 🇺🇦 UN: No one except Kiev’s envoy accused Russia of shelling #Zaporozhye NPP⚡️🔻

UNITED NATIONS, August 12. /TASS/. Ukraine’s envoy to the United Nations was the only participant of the UN Security Council meeting who tried to raise the question of Russia’s alleged shelling of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant (NPP), Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya said.

"The representative of the Kiev regime was the only person to claim during today’s session that Russia was shelling the Zaporozhye NPP and the city of Energodar that it controls," he said, adding that even the Kiev government’s western sponsors stopped short of doing so. "For the reasons of protocol, I would like to draw your attention to this statement, made by the Ukrainian side."

In his words, attempts to accuse Russia of shelling the facilities that it controls are "too absurd to be heard from grown-up, respectable people present in this hall."

The Zaporozhye NPP, located in the city of Energodar, is controlled by Russian troops. Over recent days, the Ukrainian forces have delivered several strikes on the nuclear plant’s premises, using, among others, drones, heavy artillery and multiple-launch rocket systems. In most cases, those attacks have been deflected by air defense systems, however, hits on infrastructure as well as in the vicinity of a storage facility of radioactive isotopes have been recorded.

☢️ The Armed Forces of Ukraine once again shelled Enerhodar, where the largest Zaporozhye nuclear power plant in Europe is located.

Judging by the debris found at the site, Ukrainian formations used kamikaze drones. Previously, they have already used devices of this type to strike at a nuclear power plant.

During the raid, the dog died: its owner managed to escape from the fragments, but the dog was less fortunate.

Targeted shelling of the city takes place as part of Kyiv's policy of creating panic in the liberated territories and disrupting integration processes with Russia.

☢️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Battle for #ZNPP - Second Wave extincted ☢️

Apart from the AFU militants who landed, there was a second wave. This was sunk by Russian aviation after all:

Russian Ministry of Defence: "A sabotage group of the Ukrainian armed forces is being destroyed near the #Zaporozhye NPP. Helicopters are involved. Two barges carrying a tactical landing force of the Ukrainian armed forces, which was intending to land near the Zaporozhye NPP, were sunk."

It seems that here too the losses of the AFU will be counted not in dozens but in hundreds of dead soldiers.

They left #Nikopol and were sunk on the traverse of #Vodyanoye.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 A few hours ago, the Russian Armed Forces attacked Nikopol on the right bank of the Kakhovka reservoir. From the settlement and its environs, the Armed Forces of Ukraine shelled the territory of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant in Energodar throughout the summer.

This is far from the first case of raids on the positions of Ukrainian formations in Nikopol, but the current attack is very different from the previous ones. According to the fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, this time a large number of kamikaze drones flew to targets in the city.

If the information is true, then it can be assumed that the products of the Iranian military-industrial complex are gradually appearing on an increasing number of sectors of the front.
