"Russia orders evacuations near Ukraine front line and nuclear plant amid escalating conflict"

Russia has ordered the evacuation of families with children and the elderly from Russian-held frontline areas in southern Ukraine due to increased shelling from the Ukrainian side. The evacuation will be temporary and will include 18 places, including the town of Enerhodar where the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant is located. Ukraine has been preparing an offensive against Russian forces for months, and some analysts say sabotage attacks and long-distance strikes behind Russian lines in recent days show it is now imminent.
