The Zaporozhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZAES) is described in the snippets as a nuclear facility located in Enerhodar under Russian control since March 2022. It has been repeatedly targeted by Ukrainian drones and artillery, with attacks reported on infrastructure including the transport depot, fire station, and power lines. The plant's operations continue despite the death of its chief engineer, Alexander Yakovlev, in a drone strike on July 16, 2024, which Russian authorities have labeled a terrorist act and called for international investigation.
