The department reported that the sixth power unit of the station had been disconnected from the power grid.

On Wednesday, Kyiv asked residents of Russian-occupied areas around Europe’s largest station to evacuate for their own safety.

Russia and Ukraine accuse each other of bombing a nuclear plant, risking a nuclear disaster.

The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, called for the demilitarization of the surrounding territory.
