The Russian-appointed head of the local administration, Vladimir Rogov, blamed the Ukrainian army for the attacks. According to the Ukrainian Defense Intelligence Agency, Russia is preparing more provocations at the nuclear plant. The Russian army has deployed a Pion self-propelled howitzer gun artillery in the area with a Ukrainian flag on it.
