“The extent of the damage is not yet clear, but work is already underway to repair the line,” the statement read.
IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi noted that he is continuing consultations with Ukraine and Russia on the issue of creating a nuclear safety zone around the ZNPP.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces regularly shell the ZNPP and the city of Energodar, including storage facilities for nuclear fuel and toxic waste. As the acting governor of the Zaporizhzhya region Yevgeny Balitsky said earlier, the number of attacks on the station has recently decreased due to the fighting against the battery of the Russian army.
