Ukraine Says Bombed Russian Base Near Nuclear Plant

Ukraine said on Friday it had bombed a Russian base in the town of Energodar, where United Nations inspectors are visiting the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant amid safety concerns.

"Targeted strikes by our troops in the localities of Energodar and Kherson have destroyed three artillery systems of the enemy as well as an ammunition depot," the Ukrainian army said.

The pro-Kyiv mayor of Energodar, Dmytro Orlov -- who is in exile -- told AFP he had no information but added that phone services in the town were badly disrupted.
