A drone strike on the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, the largest nuclear facility in Europe, has reignited fears of a nuclear disaster. IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi expressed 'serious concern' over the incident, which Russia claims was carried out by Ukrainian forces. The strike allegedly damaged a turbine building, marking the first drone attack within the plant's perimeter since April 2024. Grossi warned that any attack on nuclear sites poses grave risks, undermining the IAEA's established safety principles during armed conflict. Ukraine's Southern Defence Forces have categorically denied the allegations, labeling them as 'nuclear terrorism' and asserting that Russia is attempting to discredit Ukraine. They argue that the Russian military has weaponized the area around the plant, complicating the safety situation. The IAEA has requested immediate access for an on-site inspection, as verification of the incident remains a challenge. The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues to escalate, with both sides blaming each other for strikes on critical infrastructure, including the nuclear facility.
