Drones attack the Russian-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, according to plant officials

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Officials at the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant say the site has been attacked by Ukrainian military drones, including a strike on the dome of the plant’s sixth power unit. According to the plant authorities, there was no critical damage or casualties and radiation levels at the plant are normal. Later on Sunday, however, Russian state-owned nuclear agency Rosatom said that three people were wounded in the “unprecedented series of drone attacks,” specifically when a drone hit an area close to the site’s canteen. The International Atomic Energy Agency said its experts had been informed of the drone strike and that such detonation is consistent with IAEA observations. Without apportioning blame, the head of the agency warned of the safety risks of such attacks.
