IAEA Seeks Access to Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant After Reported Drone Strike
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has requested access to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in southeastern Ukraine following a reported drone strike on the facility, which is under Russian control. Russia's state nuclear energy company, Rosatom, claimed that a Ukrainian drone hit the plant, causing a hole in a turbine hall wall, though no primary equipment was damaged. Ukraine's military has denied the attack, dismissing Russia's claims as propaganda. The IAEA has expressed serious concern over the incident, emphasizing the dangers of attacking nuclear sites. The plant, Europe's largest, has been under Russian control since March 2022 and has faced multiple incidents since the invasion.
