CORRECTED-Russian Defence Ministry says Ukrainian landing group near Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant is being destroyed -agencies

(Corrects day to Thursday in first paragraph)

MOSCOW, Sept 1 (Reuters) - Russia's Defence Ministry said on Thursday a Ukrainian "sabotage group" that it said had landed near the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in Ukraine was being destroyed with the use of helicopters, Interfax news agency reported.

State-owned news agency RIA cited the ministry as saying the group had launched an attack from two boats, both of which had been sunk.

A Reuters reporter near the plant in Russian-controlled Enerhodar on the Dnipro river witnessed increased military activity, with soldiers running about and helicopters flying overhead and firing at targets on the ground.

The reporter said a residential building was struck by shelling, forcing people to take cover in a basement. (Reporting by Reuters; Editing by Mark Trevelyan and Mark Heinrich)
