The International Atomic Energy Agency said "powerful explosions" rocked the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine overnight and Sunday morning.
According to the UN nuclear watchdog some buildings, equipment, and systems at the plant, which is under Russian control, have been damaged but there has been nothing critical to nuclear safety and security.
Russia's Defense Ministry on Sunday accused Kyiv of shelling the territory around Zaporizhzhia. Ukraine in turn blamed the Russian military for the shelling.
The Zaporizhzhia plant, which Russia occupied shortly after its invasion of Ukraine, has since come under repeated shelling, with both Kyiv and Moscow accusing each other of attacks and risking a nuclear accident.
