  "summary": "The Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in southeastern Ukraine has lost its external power supply, according to the plant's Russian-installed management. The Ferosplavna power line was disconnected by protective systems due to damage, leading to the backup diesel generators supplying power to the necessary equipment for safe operation. The management stated that staff are monitoring all operational parameters and taking necessary measures to maintain the safe condition of the power units, with radiation levels on the site and in the surveillance zone being normal.",
