World leaders are shocked by Russia's attack on the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. Britain convenes UN Security Council meeting, and the IAEA launches its 24-hour Centre for Incidents and Emergencies.

"I talked to the leaders of other countries last night. To make the world react. I felt that the world leaders were shocked. The United Kingdom convenes the UN Security Council because of this attack. The IAEA is launching its 24-hour Centre for Incidents and Emergencies," President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said in his video address, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

He called on the leaders of the anti-Putin coalition to immediately step up sanctions "against the state of nuclear terrorism" and close the skies over Ukraine. "Because only this can guarantee that Russia will not fire at least missiles and air bombs on nuclear facilities," Zelensky stressed.

As reported, on the night of March 4, Russian invaders fired on the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. Power Unit 1 was hit, a fire broke out in the administrative building.
