The Zaporozhye NPPs attacked the drone again - the IAEA

"The IAEA was informed of another attempt to attack the drone on the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant, but did not lead to damage or casualties," said Rafael Mariana Grose, CEO of Rafael Mariana Grosey. Representatives of the ZPP reported to the IAEA team, which is at the facility that today's drone was "neutralized", but did not provide other details. "The IAEA team heard the explosion at the same time local time, at 10:35 am, when it announced an attempt to attack a drone," the statement said.

The agency said that this was the third case of attack on the training center lately, after two similar incidents that occurred last week. "The team was refused access to the training center located at the perimeter of the ZPEU, to evaluate the incident, with reference to potential risks for safety," IAEA said. Raphael Mariana Grus also stressed that anyone would not stand for these incidents, they seem to ignore repeated calls for the international community to maximum military restraint.

"Until novelty strikes have not been threatened with nuclear security at the facility. Our presence at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant is needed as ever. As I have informed the Security Council, we are dangerously approaching a nuclear accident. The specific principles of protection of the object I set at a meeting of the Security Council almost a year ago, "Grossi added.

The IAEA emphasized that despite the fact that all reactors of the ZPP are now in a state of cold stop, nuclear and physical nuclear safety remains fragile. We will remind, on April 7 in the territory of the occupying troops captured by Russian occupation troops there was an explosion - the drone was detached. IAEA representatives witness the incident. The Russians accused Ukraine in attack.

On April 8, Kremlin representatives stated that the lard attacked drones, and the IAEA confirmed that there was a threat to the station. At the same time, a representative of the Ministry of Defense GUR stated that Russia still carried out similar imitation blows, the main goal of which is to compromise Ukraine.
