Russian troops have opened fire in a Ukrainian town next to Europe’s largest nuclear power plant after entering it with tanks, a Ukrainian official has said.
Ukrainian interior ministry adviser Anton Herashchenko said in online posts today that the forces had taken control of the area around the Zaporizhzhia plant in south-eastern Ukraine, after entering in tanks.
Earlier, Mr Herashchenko said Russian troops were stepping up efforts to seize control of the power plant.
