11 August, 13:31
(ANSA) - NEW YORK, 11 AGO - The UN Security Council will hold
an emergency meeting Thursday to address the crisis at Ukraine's
Zaporizhzhia nuclear complex, the power plant that Kyiv and
Moscow accuse each other of having bombed, diplomatic sources
said. A source in the Security Council presidency, currently
held by China, told AFP on Wednesday that the meeting would
occur on August 11 at 3:00 pm (1900 GMT). A second diplomatic
source at United Nations headquarters in New York said the
council's 15 member nations would gather at the request of
Russia, one of the five permanent members of the Security
Council -- along with Britain, China, France and the United
States -- which hold veto power over UN resolutions. (ANSA).
