The IAEA said on the 18th it had learned a cooling tower of a reactor unit at
Russia's Kursk nuclear power plant was struck by a drone on the 17th. The agency
said the reactor unit was reportedly operating at the time, its operational
status was unaffected and no fire occurred. Director General GROSSI said any
attack on nuclear facilities is unacceptable and urged parties to exercise
maximum military restraint to prevent the risk of a nuclear accident.
