March 17 (UPI) -- An unidentified projectile struck the premises of Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant on Tuesday evening, the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog said, raising fresh concerns about the risks the U.S.-Iran war poses to nuclear facilities in the region.
Little information about the strike was made public in the carefully worded and brief statement from the International Atomic Energy Agency, which said it had been informed that "a projectile hit the premises of the Bushehr NPP on Tuesday evening."
"No damage to the plant or injuries to staff reported," it said.
The IAEA's director general, Rafael Grossi, reiterated his call "for maximum restraint during the conflict to prevent risk of a nuclear accident," the agency said.
