Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant loses external power connection

The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant has lost its connection to the external power grid, forcing the facility to rely on emergency diesel generators. This is the latest in a series of power supply disruptions at the site, which remains under Russian control and is located near the active front line in Ukraine. The reliance on backup systems increases the risk of a cooling failure, though the duration and cause of the current outage remain unconfirmed.
