The Russian side transmitted to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) information that the switchgear of the Zaporizhzhya TPP, formerly associated with the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, was hit by kamikaze drones. This was announced on Friday, June 9, in the press service of the IAEA.
In a letter to the agency’s director general, Rafael Grossi, Russia specified that the strikes were carried out on June 8 and 9.
The IAEA promises to conduct an independent assessment of this information, for which agency inspectors will need access to the Zaporizhzhya TPP distributor.
Immediately before this, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov recalled that the IAEA does not respond to Moscow’s almost weekly notes about shelling and sabotage attempts by the Kyiv regime against the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant. The diplomat said that “I would not want this next anti-Russian preparation to ‘materialize’.”
Formerly at the IAEA assessed the state of Zaporozhye NPP in the light of the destruction of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station. The agency said that the nuclear facility continues to withdraw cooling water from the Kakhovka reservoir, despite the fact that the water level has reached a critical level, and the pumps, according to preliminary calculations, should have already stopped their work.
