The IAEA said on Sept 21 that multiple drone and other military attacks in recent weeks near the ZAPORIZHZHIA NUCLEAR PLANT have caused casualties and may threaten nuclear safety. Incidents earlier this month included a drone strike on a perimeter training center, an attack on diesel fuel shipments for emergency generators, and repeated strikes in Enerhodar, where many plant staff live. IAEA Director General GROSSI said he is "deeply concerned," warning the events underscore the conflict’s ongoing risk to nuclear safety and to plant workers and families and saying any attack on the plant or its vicinity is unacceptable and must stop immediately.
