Russian invaders are going to dispose of mines that did not explode during the capture of Zaporizhia nuclear power plant (NPP) near power unit 1, National Nuclear Generating Company Energoatom has reported.

"In the near future, the occupiers who have seized Zaporizhia NPP are planning to start "disposal" of ammunition right on the site of the station near the ruins of Zaporizhia NPP training center. Crazy Russians are going to blow up ammunition right in front of power unit 1 of the nuclear power plant!!!" Energoatom expressed indignation on its Telegram channel on Monday.

As reported, Energy Minister Herman Haluschenko earlier stated that during the shelling of Zaporizhia NPP on March 4, causing a fire breaking out in the training center, many unexploded mines remained, which poses a huge threat to nuclear safety.

"Today, there are still a lot of unexploded mines there. Imagine what means mines near a nuclear unit. It's even hard to find words to describe what the occupiers are doing," the minister said.
