The risk of disaster at Europe's largest nuclear plant is "increasing every day", the mayor of the city where it is located told AFP on Sunday, after Ukraine and Russia exchanged blame for fresh shelling around the facility.

"The risks are increasing every day," he told AFP by telephone from the Ukrainian-controlled city of Zaporizhzhia.
