"Last night, at around 16:30, an enemy convoy of armored vehicles broke into the city, went straight to the nuclear power plant and started firing at the buildings and structures of the nuclear power plant. It caught fire. There are those wounded ... I have no information about the number of those wounded. About their condition: there are also seriously injured. It is not possible to take them to the hospital," Orlov said.
