Shelling observed near Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, with smoke detected according to IAEA's report.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been closely monitoring the situation at Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant following reports of shelling in the vicinity on Tuesday. According to the IAEA, multiple artillery shells struck an area outside the plant's perimeter, approximately 400 meters from its off-site diesel fuel storage facility. The agency's team observed black smoke rising from three nearby locations as a result of the incident. The IAEA Director General, Rafael Grossi, expressed concerns about the escalating tensions in the region. He stated that the incident underscored the constant dangers to nuclear safety and security. Grossi urged all parties to exercise maximum restraint and ensure the safety and security of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. The IAEA is emphasizing the need for unimpeded access to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant for its inspectors and other technical support personnel. The agency is also calling for a demilitarized zone to be established around the plant to prevent such incidents in the future. The IAEA is working closely with Ukraine and the Russian Federation to ensure the safe operation of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. The agency is reminding all parties that any actions that could potentially impact the safety and security of a nuclear facility are unacceptable. Fortunately, the IAEA did not report any casualties or equipment damage from the incident. However, the incident has raised international concerns about the potential risks to nuclear safety and security. The IAEA is continuing to monitor the situation at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and will provide updates as more information becomes available. The agency is urging all parties to prioritize the safety and security of the plant and the people living in the surrounding areas. The search results do not specify the name of the group responsible for the shelling near the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine.
