The United Nations atomic watchdog has warned of a potential threat to nuclear safety.The United Nations atomic watchdog has warned of a potential threat to nuclear safety from a spike in fighting near Europe's largest nuclear power plant in Ukraine, whose forces are continuing to press their counteroffensive.
The IAEA has repeatedly expressed concern that the fighting could cause a potential radiation leak from the facility, which is one of the world's 10 biggest nuclear power stations. "It is highly likely that Russia has redeployed forces from other areas of the frontline to replace degraded units around Robotyne," it said.
Early on Sunday Russia launched an air attack on Kyiv with blasts ringing out across the Ukrainian capital and its region for almost two hours and drone debris falling on several of the city's central districts, officials said.The scale of the attack was not immediately known. Reuters witnesses heard at least five blasts across Kyiv, and Ukrainian media footage showed a number of cars damaged.
