> The Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant has been without off-site electricity for more than a week and is relying on emergency diesel generators to cool its six inactive reactors. The IAEA says the site has only 10 days of diesel and is seeking a local ceasefire to enable repairs to power lines.
