Ukrainian drone kills two, including station employee, Russian-held nuclear plant says
Plant management said the victim was the third killed in two weeks and the 13th since April as tensions over nuclear safety persist.
- On Nov 3, management at the Russian-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant reported that a Ukrainian drone killed two people in a car, including a female employee at the facility.
- Russian forces seized the plant, Europe's largest, during the invasion of Ukraine that began in 2022; each side has regularly accused the other of military actions that compromise nuclear safety.
- The employee was the 13th killed since the spring and the third in the past two weeks. Previously, the chief engineer of the plant was killed by a Ukrainian drone, according to Rosatom.
- Condemning the incident, officials described the murder as targeted strategy, stating, "Attacks on civilian cars, killing of peaceful people – this is targeted terrorism. People must not become targets."
- IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi has repeatedly called for military restraint around the facility, which remains offline. The plant faces ongoing security risks amid the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
