Earlier in the day, Ukraine's kamikaze drones attacked the territory of the Zaporozhye NPP right after an inspection carried out by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the plant's press service said.
"On April 7, 2024, the Ukrainian armed forces launched an unprecedented series of attacks on the Zaporozhye NPP. At 11:38 [local time, 08:38 GMT] the strike hit the area adjacent to the cafeteria, injuring three employees (one of them seriously)," Rosatom said in a statement.
The corporation called on the IAEA leadership, Director General Rafael Grossi personally and the leaders of the European Union to "immediately respond to a direct threat to the safety of the Zaporozhye NPP and categorically condemn the attempt to escalate the situation around Europe's largest nuclear power plant."
