MOSCOW - The transport workshop of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in eastern Ukraine came under a massive drone attack late on June 18 and overnight, with at least 14 strikes recorded, the Russian-installed management said on Friday.

A fire broke out in one section and buildings were damaged, but no casualties were reported, the management said, adding damage could not yet be fully assessed due to ongoing threat of further attacks.
