Russian forces have reportedly damaged power lines to Chernobyl nuclear plant.
Grid operator Ukrenergo said the power lines were taken offline early Monday.
It comes just one day after the electricity supply to the plant was restored.
The power supply had been cut off last week, sparking fears the plant’s cooling system which safeguards radioactive waste would fail.
Staff at the plant have not been allowed to leave by their Russian captors.
