The United Nations chief called for U.N. nuclear inspectors to be given access to the plant as Kyiv and Moscow traded blame for the shelling in a southern region seized by Russian invaders in March and now targeted by Kyiv for a counter-offensive.

The world’s worst civil nuclear disaster occurred in 1986 when a reactor at the Chornobyl complex in northwest Ukraine exploded. The plant was occupied by Russian forces soon after the Feb. 24 invasion before they withdrew in late March.
