Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant Worker Killed in Drone Attack, IAEA Says
- A drone strike killed one employee at the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine, the International Atomic Energy Agency reported today.
- Russian forces captured the Zaporizhzhia facility in March 2022 shortly after the full-scale invasion, positioning Europe's largest nuclear plant on the Dnipro River near the front line.
- Rafael Grossi, IAEA director general, condemned the deadly strikes as "unacceptable attacks violating indispensable nuclear safety pillars," while the agency reported a second employee at a nearby thermal power plant was also killed.
- The IAEA added that "all such attacks on nuclear plant workers must stop immediately" and "all nuclear plant personnel must be able to carry out their important work without undue stress or fear."
- Russia and Ukraine regularly accuse each other of attacking the site, where IAEA teams have maintained a permanent presence since September 2022 following earlier incidents affecting plant personnel.
