The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Saturday (May 30, 2026) said it has been informed by the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in southeastern Ukraine that a drone today struck a turbine building at the site, reportedly causing a hole in its wall.
IAEA chief Rafael Grossi expressed serious concern about the reported incident and said “Attacking nuclear sites is like playing with fire.”
The IAEA’s team at the Russian-held power plant has requested access to examine the affected turbine building first-hand, the agency said in an X post.
