The UN’s nuclear watchdog warned on Saturday that the safety situation at Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant was “deteriorating” after a nearby drone strike.
Earlier on Saturday, Russia accused Ukraine of dropping an explosive charge on a road near the occupied plant in southern Ukraine.
The plant, which was seized by Russia’s forces early in the war, has come under repeated attacks that both sides have accused each other of carrying out.
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) experts on site were informed of the detonation near essential plant facilities on Saturday and immediately visited the area, the agency said in a statement.

Am I misremembering or did the Russians start burning tires at the power plant last week to help pretend Ukraine attacked the plant? They love using the threat of nuclear disaster as a leverage point; it’s really pathetic
I believe that was Russia’s Kursk reactor. This reactor is in Ukraine.
