Russia has accused Ukraine of launching a drone strike on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, specifically targeting the turbine hall of Unit 6. Alexei Likhachev, head of Russia's state atomic energy corporation Rosatom, stated that the drone was fibre-optically guided, suggesting it was not an accidental strike. The explosion resulted in a hole in the turbine hall wall, but the main equipment remained undamaged. The Zaporizhzhia plant, Europe's largest nuclear facility, has been under Russian control since the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and is currently not producing power. Greenpeace has reported satellite evidence of Russia constructing a high voltage power line in occupied areas, which it claims indicates intentions to restart the plant. However, an IAEA official noted that inspectors have not observed any major changes at the facility that would suggest preparations for a restart. Ukraine has formally expressed its concerns to the IAEA, labeling the construction of the power line as a violation of international law and a threat to nuclear safety.
