According to the ministry, 15 projectiles were fired and some of them hit near Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, the Russian news agency Sputnik reported.
Russian forces took control of the nuclear facilities on March 4, just days after the start of their invasion of Ukraine.
The plant, located in southern Ukraine, has been bombed several times in recent weeks, with Moscow and kyiv blaming each other for the attacks.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), led by the Argentine Rafael Grossi, established a mission with a permanent presence in the area to control security and demanded that a demilitarized zone be established to avoid direct offensives.
“Ukraine and Russia need to agree on the very simple principle of not attacking or bombing the plant. They need to agree that no military action will target the plant or its surroundings,” Grossi explained.
The IAEA is a technical body without a mandate to order a demilitarization of the area around Zaporizhia, something that could be decided in the UN Security Council, where, however, the veto power of Russia and some Western powers prevent progress in some resolution.
