The Ukrainian state agency in charge of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant says operations at the Russian-occupied facility have been fully stopped as a safety measure. Engineers have shut down the sixth and final reactor amid growing concern at the risk posed by fighting in the region.
This comes as a sweeping Ukrainian counteroffensive has driven Russian forces out of dozens of communities in eastern Ukraine.
Kyiv says it has liberated around two thousand square kilometers of its territory in recent days - and the operation is ongoing around cities including Izyum, Balakliya and Kupiansk. Russia says it's withdrawing some of its forces from the region.
