MOSCOW - The Russian-controlled management of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the largest in Europe, said on Friday that a high-voltage line supplying it with electricity has been repaired after an outage earlier in the day.

The plant, controlled by Russia, is in shut-down mode and receives electric power via two high-voltage lines, the more powerful of which went down on Friday morning as Russian drones and missiles struck Ukrainian energy infrastructure. REUTERS
