The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has raised concerns about the safety situation at Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant following a drone strike on a nearby road. The plant, which has been under Russian control since March 2022, reported that a drone struck just outside the protected area near essential cooling water sprinkler ponds and the power line supplying the plant.
The IAEA Director General expressed extreme concern over the escalating nuclear safety and security dangers facing the plant and called for maximum restraint from all sides. While there were no casualties or damaged equipment from the drone strike, the road between the main gates of the plant was affected.
