Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine: Russian troops are targeting and deliberately firing the ash dumps of the Zaporizhzhia Thermal Power Station to raise clouds of radioactive dust

Now the wind is blowing the clouds around the occupied city of Enerhodar.

According to the Main Directorate of Intelligence, this is a new method to create the desired "picture" to manipulate public opinion. The Zaporizhzhia TPS is located next to the Nuclear Power Plant.

Ash dumps are places where the ash, generated during the operation of the thermal power station is stored. This waste has a high concentration of toxic substances and a radiation level that is at least 2.5 times higher than the natural background. When drying, they form dust, which can travel considerable distances.
