March 9 (Reuters) - Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power
plant which is under Russian control, lost electric power supply
due to a Russian missile attack on the remainder of Ukraine, the
Energoatom state company said in a statement on Thursday.
"The last link between the occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear
Power Plant and the Ukrainian power system was cut off," it
said.
The Energoatom said that the fifth and sixth reactor have
been shut down and electric power needed for the plant's
functioning is supplied by 18 diesel generators which have
enough fuel for 10 days.
