A powerful Russian missile hit 300 yards from the plant far from the front lines, Ukraine said, a reminder that despite its recent retreat, Russia can still threaten nuclear sites.
Cut off from the country’s electric grid, the plant is relying on an emergency measure that it is not designed to keep up for long, the head of Ukraine’s national energy company said.
