IAEA experts inspected the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant on Sunday following a Russian claim that a Ukrainian drone struck the facility on Saturday. Ukraine denied the claim, labeling it propaganda, while also reporting its own drone strikes on Russian energy infrastructure, including an oil pumping station.
The Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, located in Russian-occupied territory in Ukraine, has been a point of concern throughout the ongoing conflict. Accusations of attacks on nuclear facilities raise significant safety and security risks, with both sides often blaming each other for incidents. This latest claim and denial highlight the heightened tensions and information warfare surrounding the plant, occurring amidst an escalation of Ukrainian drone strikes targeting Russian energy infrastructure and civilian areas.
