Russia's Defense Ministry said on Thursday that the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine may be shut down if Ukrainian forces continue shelling the facility.

Igor Kirillov, head of Russia's Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Force, said the plant's back-up support systems had been damaged as a result of shelling.
