The IAEA has been informed of numerous drone and other military strikes in the vicinity of the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant in recent weeks, causing several casualties and potentially threatening nuclear safety. The reported incidents earlier this month included drone attacks on the plant’s off-site training centre as well as strikes on diesel fuel transports for its emergency generators. Other attacks reportedly hit locations in the nearby city of Enerhodar, where many plant staff live.
IAEA DG
@rafaelmgrossi expresses deep concern about the reported incidents, which underline constant dangers to nuclear safety during the conflict, as well as to plant staff and their families. All attacks on or near NPPs are unacceptable and must stop immediately, DG Grossi says.
