Russian Attacks Kill at Least 13 in Zaporizhzhia; Nuclear Plant Temporarily Loses Power
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On Sunday, Russian missiles rained down on the southeastern city of
Zaporizhzhia, killing at least 13 people. This came after the
Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant temporarily lost its power
supply Saturday due to shelling and had to switch on emergency diesel
generators to prevent a nuclear disaster. This is 10-year-old Bohdan
Pavlenko, who survived Sunday's attack on Zaporizhzhia.

Bohdan Pavlenko: "I heard the sirens and some person next to me
screaming. There was no mobile connection. It was horrific. My mother
took me under her arm. Then I looked after my little brother and sister.
… The Russian Federation, the way it's doing all of this - special
operation? I don't think that this is a special operation."

In other news from Ukraine, the governor of Donetsk province says mass
burial sites have been found in the recently liberated town of Lyman.
It's unknown how many bodies were discovered, but one site reportedly
held about 200 individual graves.
