RUSSIA and Ukraine accused each other of shelling Europe’s biggest nuclear power plant as the UN chief proposed a demilitarised zone at the site amid fears of a catastrophe.
Ukraine’s Energoatom agency said the Zaporizhzhia complex was struck five times on Thursday, including near where radioactive materials are stored. Russianappointed officials claimed Ukraine shelled the plant twice, disrupting a shift changeover, Russia’s Tass news agency reported.
UN Secretary-general António Guterres called on both sides to halt all fighting near the plant. | Reuters
A MAN armed with a nail gun and an Ar-15-style rifle attempted to breach an Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) office in the US state of Ohio this week, a few days after the FBI searched former president Donald Trump’s Florida home, infuriating right-wing supporters, although there was no immediate indication that the events were linked.
According to local media, the man fired a nail gun and brandished the rifle before fleeing by car. The vehicle was pursued by police and was stopped in a rural area. The suspect was killed in a standoff with police. | AFP
