Russian forces who took over a Ukrainian town that houses Europe’s largest atomic energy plant have disabled a warning system that would alert civilians to any imminent air strikes, local authorities say.
Dmitry Orlov, the mayor of Enerhodar, announced the cruel twist during a tele-marathon Tuesday, saying civilians are under attack by the occupying Russian troops.
“We can’t even guess what is going on [there,] and when and where. The occupiers are driving around the city during the day, checking cars, smashing the windshields if they are tinted, and taking away mobile devices. There are already cases of attacks on civilians. Complete anarchy is happening,” Orlov was quoted saying by the UNIAN news agency.
