On Thursday morning, IAEA experts at the station heard an explosion. the occupiers told them that they had “neutralized” the drone. The provocation was again aimed at the Zaporizhia NPP training center. Since it is located outside the perimeter of the station site, the Russians did not allow the IAEA team to record the consequences of the attack.
Agency Director General Rafael Grossi said that so far incidents from UAVs have not posed a threat to nuclear safety at the facility. However, he called for an end to these “reckless attacks,” “no matter who is behind them.”
The IAEA also claims that this week another rotation of experts took place at the Zaporizhia NPP. Now there is already an 18th team of observers at the station since the introduction of the permanent presence of agency employees in September 2022.
