What happened
Russian forces seized Europe's largest nuclear plant. Repeated shelling damaged electrical infrastructure, caused multiple losses of off-site power and disconnected operating units; all six reactors subsequently entered shutdown states. Cooling and safety systems continued, but the IAEA has repeatedly described the site as precarious.
