Ukrainian forces say they shot down nine Iranian Shahed-136 drones and destroyed eight Kalibr cruise missiles near Mykolaiv, leaving the southern city without power. A six-year-old girl and two more people were wounded in the shelling of Nikopol, where the attacks damaged some three dozen residential buildings, private houses, kindergartens, a school, two plants and several shops, the report added. Three people have been rescued alive from the rubble in Zaporizhzhia after over a dozen missiles rained on the city, the report said. Russian forces used drones, heavy artillery and missiles, according to the presidential office’s Wednesday morning update. KYIV, Ukraine - Ukraine’s presidential office says Russian shelling in the past 24 hours has affected eight regions in the southeast, while strikes on central and western areas have eased for the moment. There was no immediate reaction from the Russian forces in the area.Įnergoatom also said Kyiv continues to control access to the key units of the plant and “communication with the station has not been lost.” There are plans to restart this week at least one of six plant reactors that were shut down on Sept. They said Kyiv has sent fuel for the generators but that the Russians refused to let it through. The press office insisted that the generators can last for no more than eight hours. The power was later restored after the plant operated on generators for the past 24 hours, Energoatom said. The only operating power line, one of eight, was damaged by the Russian shelling of an electrical substation near the city of Marhanets across the Dnieper River from the plant. The plant was without external power on Wednesday in the second such incident in five days, raising fears of potential leaks because critical safety systems need electricity to operate. “Russia has seized the plant and is not taking any steps to de-escalate, on the contrary, it is shelling important infrastructure daily,” the company’s press service told The Associated Press.
TALLINN, Estonia - Ukraine’s state nuclear operator has warned that power outages and other emergency situations at the Russia-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant could happen again any time. Russian missile attacks caused a crippled nuclear plant in Ukraine to lose all external power for the second time in five days, increasing the risk of a radiation disaster because critical safety systems need electricity to operate, Ukraine’s state nuclear operator said Wednesday. The ministry said the iodine tablet recommendation is limited to those aged 3-40 because of the potential risks that radiation exposure poses to that age group. Drug wholesale also said their were stockpiles emptied out. Pharmacies in many locations in Finland reported Wednesday they had run out of iodine tablets as citizens rushed to purchase the medicine. “An accident at a nuclear power plant could release radioactive iodine into the environment, which could build up in the thyroid gland,” the Finnish Ministry of Social Affairs and Health said Tuesday.
HELSINKI -Many Finnish pharmacies ran out of iodine tablets Wednesday, a day after the Nordic country’s health ministry recommended that households buy a single dose in a case of a radiation emergency amid increasing fears of a nuclear event due to Russia’s war in Ukraine. “I hope as soon as possible, we will need all parties to get back to the discussion table and there will be peace discussions with, on the one side, Ukraine, and on the other side, Russia,” he said.Īsked about whether he thinks Ukraine will be willing to negotiate with Russia, he said “negotiating does not mean giving up.” Russian President Vladimir Putin must “end the war, respect Ukraine’s territorial integrity and get back to the discussion table,” he said, adding that he will speak to the Russian president “every time it will be necessary.” Macron insisted several times on the need for peace talks between the two countries. Paris already delivered 18 similar Caesar cannons to Kyiv.įrance will also send “anti-aircraft systems and missiles” to help protecting the country from drone and missile attacks in the coming weeks, he said. Macron told France 2 television on Wednesday evening that France is working with Denmark to send an additional six Caesar self-propelled howitzers cannons - which had initially been produced for the Danish military. PARIS - French President Emmanuel Macron has promised that France will soon deliver more cannons, radars and anti-aircraft missiles to support Ukraine.
