Russia claimed that there was an attack by a Ukrainian military drone on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine, which it continues to occupy, and that three people were injured, although there was no abnormality at the nuclear power plant.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) does not say who carried out the attack, but calls for an immediate end to such reckless attacks, saying they increase the risk of a serious nuclear accident.
Regarding the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine, which Russia continues to occupy, on the 7th, Russia's state-run nuclear power company Rosatom claimed that the nuclear power plant was attacked by Ukrainian military drones.
The roof of Unit 6 and an area adjacent to the cafeteria were attacked, leaving three people injured.
However, there has been no serious damage to the nuclear power plant, and there has been no change in radiation levels in the nuclear power plant and surrounding areas.
The IAEA, which has experts stationed at the nuclear power plant, confirmed on social media that the damage to Unit 6 did not jeopardize the safety of the plant, but confirmed that the drone attack also caused a physical shock to the reactor. I made it clear that I did.
IAEA Director-General Grossi issued a statement saying, ``Such reckless attacks significantly increase the risk of a serious nuclear accident and must be stopped immediately,'' without specifying who carried out the attack.
On the other hand, a spokesperson for the Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine denied to local media, ``Ukraine is not involved in any armed provocation that occurred on the site of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.''
Concerns about the safety of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant continue to arise, as the supply of external power necessary for cooling the reactor is frequently cut off due to successive shelling attacks.
