The Zaporozhye region has faced a series of attacks, including multiple strikes on the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, Europe’s largest nuclear facility operated by the Russian state nuclear corporation.
Earlier this month a Ukrainian drone struck a service vehicle on the plant’s industrial site near Energodar, killing chief engineer Aleksandr Yakovlev and driver Dmitry Filippov.
Over the preceding two and a half months, the attacks have resulted in 13 fatalities and 48 injuries.
In a separate incident last month, Ukrainian drones targeted the city of Melitopol, causing debris to ignite the roof of a public school and damaging a meat‑processing plant. Two people were killed and six were injured.
