Anti-aircraft defence around Ukraine nuclear plant will be beefed up, says Russian official

Anti-aircraft defences around the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant will be strengthened following days of reported shelling on/near the site, the RIA Novosti news agency quoted a Russian-installed separatist official as saying on Monday.

Yevgeny Balitsky, the head of the Russian-backed administration in Ukraine's southern Zaporizhzhia region also said the nuclear station, Europe's largest, was working normally, and damaged power lines had been restored.
