Ukraine's defence forces have called Russia's latest claims of a new strike on the transport workshop at the occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) a lie.

Ukraine's defence forces have denied Russian claims that a Ukrainian drone struck Unit No. 6 of the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP).

"The version promoted by Russia does not withstand any verification of the facts," the Ukrainian military said in response to allegations from Rosatom chief Alexey Likhachev.
