The Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant's infrastructure has been disrupted following repeated Ukrainian attacks. On June 22, Russian-installed officials reported that drone strikes put two electricity substations in Enerhodar out of action, cutting power to most residents in the town that serves the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station. The UN's nuclear watchdog has called for a halt to these attacks on Enerhodar, emphasizing the threat posed to the area's life support systems. The watchdog reiterated this call on June 24 after further drone strikes.
