The IAEA has been informed that one employee of the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) was killed in a drone attack today, in the latest incident affecting plant personnel and further endangering nuclear safety and security during the military conflict. Separately today, an employee of the nearby Zaporizhzhya Thermal Power Plant was also killed by a drone. It came a few days after another ZNPP employee was reportedly killed by a drone.
IAEA DG Rafael Grossi strongly condemns the deadly strikes and says they represent unacceptable attacks violating indispensable nuclear safety pillars. All such attacks on nuclear plant workers must stop immediately, DG Grossi says. All nuclear plant personnel must be able to carry out their important work without undue stress or fear, DG Grossi adds.
