The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has condemned a drone strike on one of the nuclear reactors at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine. The Kremlin blames Ukraine for the attack, but Ukrainian intelligence denies involvement.
The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency has condemned a drone strike on one of six nuclear reactors at the Russian -controlled Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine . “This cannot happen,” director general Rafael Grossi wrote on a social media post, adding, “No one can conceivably benefit or get any military or political advantage from attacks against nuclear facilities. This is a no go.
” The Kremlin continues to blame Ukraine for the attacks on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station, calling them “very dangerous”, but a senior Ukrainian intelligence officer has denied Kyiv’s involvement. The Guardian is unable to independently verify either account. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov arrived in Beijing on Monday to display the strength of ties with close diplomatic ally China, amid Moscow’s war against Ukraine.
