On Sunday, the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, under Russian control, was struck by Ukraine, causing damage to the dome above a shutdown reactor, though there were no serious damages or changes in radiation levels, according to the plant's Russian-installed administration. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed that the attack included at least three direct hits against the plant's main reactor containment structures and was 'consistent' with other observations. IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi emphasized the increased risk of a major nuclear accident and called for an immediate cessation of such reckless attacks, a sentiment echoed by the UN. Additionally, the Russian nuclear company reported three individuals were injured in the attack. Amidst these developments, Ukrainian intelligence, speaking to the Ukrainska Pravda media outlet, denied any involvement in provocations at the nuclear facility.
