Moscow
\nRussia says it has struck several of Ukraine\u2019s positions in the wake of the shelling by the Ukrainian side of spots near Europe\u2019s biggest nuclear power plant Zaporizhzhia.
\nThe Russian Defense Ministry said on Saturday its forces had conducted the strikes in the regions of Kherson, Mykolaiv, Kharkiv and Donetsk.
\nAccording to the ministry, Ukrainian forces had carried out an unsuccessful offensive near Pravdyne in Kherson.
\nThe ministry said two incidents of Ukrainian shelling had been recorded near the plant on Saturday, but the radiation situation at the station remains normal. \u201cThe Kiev regime has resumed its provocations threatening to create a man-made disaster at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power plant,\u201d said Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov.
\n\u201cIn total, 15 shells were fired from the Nikopol area of the Dnepropetrovsk region. Artillery units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were suppressed by return fire.\u201d
\nUkraine\u2019s Foreign Ministry has denied Moscow\u2019s narrative.
\nEarlier this month, Russia accused Ukraine of repeatedly shelling the vicinity of Zaporizhzhia.
\nUkraine and its Western allies, however, accuse Russia of using the plant as a military base to fire at Ukrainians. President Volodymyr Zelensky has also accused Russia of committing acts of \u201cnuclear terrorism.\u201d<\/p>\n
Russia took control of the plant in March. It says its armed forces \u201cdon\u2019t damage Ukraine\u2019s nuclear safety in any way and cause no obstacles to the plant\u2019s operation.\u201d
\nThe International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has already called for the establishment of a security and safety zone around the plant.
\nRussia has also taken control of the Chernobyl plant, which was the site of the world\u2019s worst nuclear crisis in April 1986.
