Power has been entirely cut to the Chernobyl power plant, site of the world’s worst nuclear disaster in 1986, and its security systems, Ukraine’s energy operator Ukrenergo says.
The nuclear power plant “was fully disconnected from the power grid,” it says in a statement on its Facebook page, adding that military operations meant “there is no possibility to restore the lines.”
