Russia and Ukraine have accused each other of waging attacks near Europe’s largest nuclear power plant just as a team of UN inspectors was heading to visit it despite the fighting.

Inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency, led by its director Rafael Grossi, set off for the Russian-held Zaporizhzhia plant despite the heavy shelling that led to an emergency system shutting down one of its reactors.
