Nuclear watchdog in terrifying warning after Ukraine plant hit by Russian missiles

The head of the world's nuclear watchdog has warned that Russia is gambling with death after pummelling the largest nuclear reactor in Europe.

In southern Ukraine, the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, which is occupied by Russian forces, lost power as a result of the missile attacks, according to nuclear state operator Energoatom.

It's the sixth time that Europe's largest nuclear plant has been in a state of blackout since it was taken over by Russia months ago, forcing it to rely on diesel generators that can run the station for 10 days.
