UN Security Council meets over Russian attacks on nuclear power plant
The United Nations Security Council met Friday in an emergency session over Russia's attacks on Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.
The British representative said this is the first time a state has attacked a functioning nuclear power plant.
Senior U.N. diplomat and Under Secretary-General for Political Affairs Rosemary DiCarlo condemned active military activity near a nuclear site as "not only unacceptable, but highly irresponsible."
"Every action should be taken to avoid a catastrophic nuclear incident," she added, saying an attack on a functioning nuclear power plant is contrary to international humanitarian law.
