UKRAINIAN missiles hit the reactor cooler system at the Zaporozhzhia nuclear power plant in an attack on Wednesday, which could have had catastrophic consequences, Russian-appointed officials said today.

At least 11 workers at Europe’s largest nuclear plant were injured in the blast, with four believed to be in a critical condition, occupying authorities say.

The head of the Russian-appointed Zaporozhzhia Region Military-Civilian Administration Yevgeny Balitsky said today that the kamikaze drone attack could have been disastrous.
