A Russian mine exploded near the generator room of the vast Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, Ukraine's state operator Energoatom said on Thursday.
"According to sources, an explosion happened near the engine room of the fourth (reactor) power unit," Energoatom said in a statement.
It also said Russian troops, who last year seized control of Ukraine's largest nuclear complex, told workers that it was "their own mine that detonated."
This is a developing story.
