Insider: Satellite images show holes in the roof of a building at the Ukrainian nuclear power plant Russian troops have been using as a shield 

* New satellite images show damage to the roof of a building at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. 

* The plant in southern Ukraine, which is Europe's biggest, has been occupied by Russia for months. 

* It has also been the site of recent fighting, which has led watchdog agencies to voice concern. 

Satellite images published on Monday show local fires and damage to a building at southern Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, which occupying Russian troops have been using as a shield. 

One image captured by Maxar Technologies and obtained by Insider shows a handful of holes in the roof of a building at the power plant, which has suffered damage from fires and explosions amid ongoing fighting and shelling in the area. 

A few of the holes appear to have darkened scorch marks around them, but it is unclear exactly what caused them.
