Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant Worker Killed in Drone Strike, Russian Management Says
Plant management said the employee was the 15th worker killed since April as attacks around the Russian-held site continue.
- A Ukrainian drone strike killed an employee of the Russian-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant at his home in Enerhodar on Wednesday, Russian management confirmed. The worker died after finishing his shift.
- Russia seized the Zaporizhzhia plant, Europe's largest with six reactors, during the February 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Since then, Enerhodar has faced persistent attacks from Ukrainian forces.
- This incident marks the 15th employee death since April amid frequent attacks in the area. Two people, including a female worker, were killed earlier in the month, compounding the mounting toll.
- Living conditions for staff in Enerhodar are directly linked to safety at The Zaporizhzhia, where growing fatigue from nonstop shelling complicates operations. The facility requires external power to keep reactor fuel cool.
- Both Russia and Ukraine accuse each other of military actions liable to endanger nuclear safety at the facility. Rosatom reported in July that the plant's chief engineer was killed by a Ukrainian drone, illustrating persistent dangers.
