Russian shelling of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant has damaged “several radiation sensors,” Ukraine’s nuclear agency says.

Energoatom says the new strikes were close to one of the Russian-controlled Ukrainian plant’s six reactors and there was “extensive smoke,” adding that “several radiation sensors are damaged.”
