The temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhia NPP (Enerhodar, Zaporizhzhia Region) lost power from one of the high-voltage lines on the night of January 3 as a result of hostilities.
The press service of the Ministry of Energy has announced this, the Ukrainian News agency reports.
"At night, as a result of hostilities, the temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhia NPP lost power from one of the high-voltage lines," the message says.
The Ministry of Energy recalled that during the full-scale war, russian shelling repeatedly damaged the Zaporizhzhia NPP's power lines and caused 12 blackouts at the plant.
The last such incident occurred less than a month ago.
In addition, russia is deliberately disabling the energy infrastructure on the occupied territory and testing the connection of the Zaporizhzhia NPP to its own power system in conditions of hostilities and occupation.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on December 30, energy workers completed restoration work at the Zaporizhzhia NPP by connecting an external power line to the power system.
Prior to this, Ukraine and russia agreed to a temporary ceasefire on the Zaporizhzhia NPP area to ensure the repair of damaged power lines.
