Moldova’s foreign minister condemns Russian attack on Ukrainian nuclear power plant

That’s according to the top diplomat’s tweet, Ukrinform reports.

"I condemn in strongest possible terms the strike on Pivdennoukrainsk nuclear power plant in the southern Mykolaiv region of Ukraine, only 200km from the Moldovan border. Continued attacks on nuclear facilities by the Russian forces are endangering everyone across the region," Popescu wrote.

According to the minister, the attacks of Russian troops on nuclear sites in Ukraine pose a threat to the entire region.

As reported earlier, on September 19, at 00:20, the Russian army launched missiles at the industrial zone of the South Ukrainian Nuclear Power Plant. The powerful explosion rocked the area just 300 m from the nuclear reactors. The shelling damaged a number of buildings at the NPP site, where more than 100 windows were shattered. One of the hydraulic units of the Oleksandrivska Hydroelectric Power Plant, which is part of the South Ukrainian Energy Complex, was disconnected. Three high-voltage power lines were also shut off.
