The UN nuclear chief has warned that "very alarming" military activity at Europe's largest nuclear plant in Ukraine could lead to dangerous consequences.

Rafael Grossi urged Russia and Ukraine, who blame each other for the attacks at the plant, to immediately allow nuclear experts to assess damage and evaluate safety at the Zaporizhzhia facility.

India too has expressed concern over reports of shelling near the spent fuel storage facility of the nuclear power plant and called for mutual restraint.

While the plant is controlled by Russia, its Ukrainian staff continues to run the nuclear operations. It is in Enerhodar, a city seized by Russian troops in early March soon after they invaded Ukraine.
