A worker at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant has been killed in a drone strike. Another employee of the nearby Zaporizhzhia thermal power plant was also killed.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported this.
According to the agency, a few days ago the IAEA also received a report that another ZNPP worker had been killed in a drone strike.
IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi condemned the attacks and stressed that they are unacceptable and violate fundamental principles of nuclear safety.
"All such attacks on nuclear power plant workers must stop immediately," Grossi said.
He emphasised that staff at nuclear facilities must be able to carry out their duties without undue stress or fear.
- On 18 August, a drone exploded at a bus stop used by workers at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. One person was killed and more than a dozen were injured.
