Both power units of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant were reconnected to Ukraine’s energy grid after an outage, state-owned operator Energoatom said in a statement.

The first unit was brought back online at around 2 p.m., and the second was restored around 9:15 p.m. The plant is working “despite provocations by occupying Russian forces,” the company said.
