The International Atomic Energy Agency called the overnight drone crash near Ukraine's South Ukrainian Nuclear Power Plant an incident that "came close to disaster."
The IAEA's report refers to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine merely as "a conflict" and omits any mention of Russia, despite Russian damaging NPP power substations, knocking them offline or reducing their electricity output capacity.
As Ukrainian troops push into Russia's Kursk Oblast, the International Atomic Energy Agency raised alarms about the safety of the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant's reactors, similar to those involved in the 1986 Chornobyl disaster. IAEA chief Rafael Grossi is set to inspect the facility's vulnerabilities firsthand.
