Urgent: The Zaporozhye nuclear power plant has been shelled by Ukraine thirteen times this weekend. The dangers posed to all Europe literally don't bear thinking about. Europe's largest nuclear power plant comes under attack. Moscow says the Zaporozhye facility has been shelled by Kiev's forces 13 times over the weekend although Ukraine's nuclear energy agency is accusing Russia.

Licenced to cause trouble - plans by Kosovo to fine those in the breakaway province with Serbian number plates on their cars, spark tensions and fears of escalation.

Five people were killed and eighteen wounded in a shooting in a Colorado night club.

Kiev backtracks on its claims that Russia was behind a deadly missile strike on Polish territory, as it admits parts of the projectile are Ukrainian. That's after the US, NATO and Warsaw officials say it was likely launched by a Ukrainian air defence system. (QueenStreet comment: the very second it was fired, NATO and Poland military knew who fired the bomb and failed to properly brief the press, accusing Russia. This is scandalous and Ukraine has breached NATO article 5 so what are they going to do about it?)

1) ---- Ukraine shelled radioactive waste storage – official ----

The Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant was heavily targeted two days in a row

Ukrainian troops have shelled Europe’s biggest nuclear power plant over the last two days, Renat Karchaa, an adviser at Russia’s state nuclear operator Rosenergoatom, claimed on Sunday.

Karchaa said the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant was targeted earlier in the day, following a barrage fired at the facility on Saturday, when six projectiles hit the cooling system of one of the rectors and two struck the radioactive waste storage. He added that the employees were unharmed.

According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the plant was shelled twice on Sunday, while 11 “large-caliber artillery shells” were fired on Saturday. The ministry said that projectiles fell close to the reactors, and that the fire was also directed at power lines.

“It is impossible to assess the consequences of the shelling because there is a danger of new attacks,” Karchaa said. The plant had not been targeted that much since late September. according to the official.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), whose team is monitoring the situation on the ground, said that “more than a dozen blasts were heard within a short period of time” on Sunday. It added that experts could see some of the explosions from their windows.

“Whoever is behind this, it must stop immediately. As I have said many times before, you’re playing with fire!” IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said.

Russian soldiers seized the plant shortly after Moscow launched its military operation in Ukraine in late February. Zaporozhye Region, together with three other former Ukrainian territories, eventually joined Russia after holding referendums on the matter in September.
