As a result of Russian shelling on Nov. 2, the last two high-voltage communication lines with the Ukrainian power system at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant were damaged, Ukraine’s state nuclear operator Energoatom reported in a post on Telegram.

According to Energoatom, the diesel generators have enough fuel to last for 15 days.
