“I am very concerned about yesterday’s bombing of the largest nuclear power plant in Europe. During which part of the nuclear power plant was damaged,” said Rafael Mariano Grossi, Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, in a statement about Friday’s attack in Zaporizhia.
The projectiles hit the plant’s high-voltage line, causing the operators to shut down the reactor. No radiation leak was detected.
The power plant was occupied by the Russians at the beginning of March, but Ukrainian technicians still operate it. Russia condemned Ukraine for what it called an attack on the reactor, and Ukraine condemned Russia for launching an attack from behind the plant. Ukrainian nuclear energy company Energoatom blames Russia for the damage.
Grossi called on both sides to exercise “the utmost restraint.” General Director According to the power plant out of control, is extremely dangerous, so he will launch a mission for him and his team to visit the facility and assess its condition. (Reuters)
