TEHRAN, Aug. 13 (MNA) – The Ukrainian military is bombarding the town of Energodar and the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant located nearby, Vladimir Rogov said.

As eye-witnesses say, explosions are being heard in the town. Rockets are landing in the area of the Dnieper bank and the Zaporizhzhia NPP."
