A senior Ukrainian official has refuted Russian claims that Ukraine's army launched exploding drones at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, which has been under Russian occupation since the onset of the conflict over two years ago. The spokesperson for Ukraine's military intelligence agency dismissed the allegations, stating that Russian forces often fabricate attacks on the plant.
Despite the denial, the U.N.'s atomic watchdog agency confirmed drone strikes on one of the plant's reactors, resulting in one casualty. The International Atomic Energy Agency expressed concern about the incident, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the plant's nuclear safety.
