- Engineers have repaired a damaged high-voltage line and restored external power to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station in Ukraine, its Russian-installed management said on Thursday.

The plant - Europe's largest, with six reactors - was seized by Russian troops in the first weeks of Moscow's 2022 invasion of Ukraine. It currently produces no electricity, but needs external power to ensure that fuel in the reactors remains cool and no meltdown occurs.

Until Thursday, the plant had been without power for 30 days, relying on backup diesel generators.
