The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant is in Enerhodar which is a city on the Dnieper River, it accounts for one-quarter of the country's power generation. A spokesman for the plant said the shelling began early Friday, The Associated Press reported. 

A government official told The Associated Press that elevated levels of radiation are being detected near the site of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, though the information has not yet been publicly released yet.

The Russian forces battled to gain control, the Ukrainian city Enerhodar, on Thursday and gained ground in their bid to cut off the country from the sea, as Ukrainian leaders called on citizens to rise up and wage guerrilla war against the invaders, according to AP reports. 

Another round of talks between the two sides led to a tentative agreement for the set up safe corridors inside Ukraine to evacuate citizens and deliver humanitarian aid.
