IAEA: 'The IAEA has been informed that the 330 kV Ferosplavna-1 power line at the Zaporizhzhya NPP – the plant’s only remaining off-site power line - was disconnected at 00:44 local time today resulting in a new loss of off-site power. The location of the damage to the line was preliminarily assessed to be on the northern bank of the Dnipro River. An attempt to reconnect the line manually was unsuccessful and, due to ongoing military activity, technicians are currently unable to determine the cause of the outage. Emergency diesel generators automatically started up to power the plants vital safety systems. The IAEA team at the plant continues to assess the situation.'
