MOSCOW — A team of inspectors from the UN atomic agency has arrived at the Moscow-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in southern Ukraine, Russian RIA Novosti and Interfax news agencies report.

The visit of the 14-strong team from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) comes as the plant — Europe’s largest nuclear facility — has suffered repeated shelling that Moscow and Kyiv accuse each other of carrying out.
