Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky posted a clip of the explosion and resulting damage from the strike.

He slammed Russia as a “terrorist threat to the entire world”.

Zelensky said: “This shelter was built by Ukraine together with other countries of Europe and the world, together with America – all those committed to real security for humanity.

The only country in the world that attacks such sites, occupies nuclear power plants, and wages war without any regard for the consequences is today’s Russia.

The President confirmed radiation levels had not increased but with “significant” damage to the shelter authorities were continuing to monitor the situation.
