IAEA has been notified of a drone attack on the radiation control laboratory at the Zaporizhzhia power plant, with no reported casualties.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) announced on Sunday about a drone attack on the radiation control laboratory at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, which is under Russian control. So far, no casualties have been reported, and the impact on the laboratory is unclear. IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi emphasized the importance of nuclear safety, mentioning that the IAEA team on the ground has requested access to the laboratory. The plant has faced safety issues since the invasion of Ukraine, including nearby attacks and power outages. Control over the plant is a controversial subject in peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia, and the Russians have turned work areas into makeshift housing, raising safety risks. Russian workers perceive their presence at the nuclear plant as a "business trip," suggesting a relaxed attitude towards their mission.
