Ukraine's Ministry of Energy reports.

The outage occurred at 12:18. The plant is currently powered by only one power line. The external power supply to the plant, which is necessary for its safe operation, is again under threat.

According to the ministry, if the plant is disconnected from external power, a complete blackout will occur at Zaporizhzhia NPP, which poses a threat to radiation safety.

"Due to Russian shelling, one of the power lines connecting the temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhia NPP to the Ukrainian power grid was again disconnected. As soon as the security situation allows, power engineers will do everything possible to restore the power line to ZNPP. Only the return of control over the occupied Zaporizhzhia NPP to Ukraine can guarantee the safe operation of Europe's largest nuclear power plant," said Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko.

On the morning of October 1, the Russian army attacked the main substation of the temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhia NPP, which cut off one of the power lines.
