Drone hits captured nuclear plant in Ukraine: IAEA
A drone hit the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Russian-occupied southern Ukraine, the U.N. nuclear agency has said, citing local officials.
Moscow's troops captured the plant — Europe's largest — in the first days of their 2022 invasion.
The International Atomic Energy Agency posted on social media that the Russian-run plant's operator informed it that a drone had hit the turbine building on Saturday, "reportedly causing a hole in its wall".
Russian media carried a statement from state-owned nuclear power firm Rosatom accusing Ukraine of a deliberate attack — a claim strongly denied by Kiev.
