US EditionPower cut for a time to Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant; Kyiv blames Russian strike
- On July 4, all external electricity supply lines to the Zaporizhzhia plant, located in territory controlled by Russia, were interrupted for multiple hours, forcing the facility to operate on diesel generators.
- The outage happened after a Russian attack disabled the final operational power line linking the Zaporizhzhia plant to Ukraine’s electricity grid, resulting in the ninth complete loss of external power since early 2022.
- The IAEA mission inspected the area and confirmed that a drone with an explosive payload likely caused damage near the plant's perimeter, hitting the road between the main gates without affecting equipment.
- IAEA Director Rafael Mariano Grossi called the nuclear safety situation extremely precarious and warned that "any further escalation could have serious consequences," while Ukraine's Energy Minister German Galushchenko accused Moscow of "nuclear terrorism."
- The incident has intensified global worries about the precarious security of Europe’s largest nuclear plant amid ongoing conflict, leading to renewed demands for immediate protective measures and the cessation of military activities around nuclear facilities.
