Two employees of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant are in serious condition after stepping on a landmine in Energodar, according to reports from TASS.
Two other workers sustained minor injuries in the incident, which occurred on the grounds of the facility currently under Russian control.
The incident highlights the persistent security challenges at Europe’s largest nuclear plant, which has remained a flashpoint since Russia’s occupation of the site.
The presence of unexploded ordnance and landmines in the immediate vicinity of the plant continues to pose significant risks to personnel and operational safety.
This development follows recent reports of a projectile striking an internal gallery at the plant, narrowly missing one of the reactors.
The recurring incidents underscore the vulnerability of critical infrastructure in the conflict zone and the potential for escalation.
