The last operating reactor at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine has been completely shut down and disconnected from the grid, the Ukrainian operator Energoatom said on Sunday.

The U.N. nuclear watchdog had warned on Friday that this could happen following renewed shelling around the nuclear facility — the largest in Europe.
