There's been global outcry to Russia's overnight attack on the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, in Zaporizhzhia in southern Ukraine.

The attack caused an administrative building to catch fire, but the plant itself is safe - although under Russian control.

"The reckless actions of President Putin could now directly threaten the safety of all of Europe," UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson says.

"It's not just dangerous for Ukraine and the Russians, it's dangerous for Europe and it is playing with fire that really is beyond anything to do with logic or necessity," UK Defence Minister Ben Wallace adds.

Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the "horrific attacks" from Russia "must cease immediately", while US President Joe Biden has urged Moscow to stop its military activities around the site.

Jens Stoltenberg, the head of Nato, says the attack demonstrates the "recklessness of this war and the importance of ending it".

A statement from Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi condemns the "heinous attack" as "an attack on everyone's security" and calls on the EU to "continue to react with unity and with the utmost determination" to support Ukraine.

Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store has also shown "strong condemnation" of the shelling.

"This kind of attack is madness," he says.
