BY A STAFF REPORTER: External power to the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant has been restored after it was lost on Wednesday morning following the shelling of a substation, Rafael Grossi, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said in a tweet. “I've been informed by our team on site that external power to Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant is restored,” he said. “Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant's operator says this morning's outage was caused by shelling damage to a far off sub-station, highlighting how precarious the situation is. We need a protection zone ASAP.”
