Ukrainian Drone Attack Kills Two Near Russian-Held Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant

Ukrainian Drone Attack Kills Two Near Russian-Held Zaporizhzhia Nuclear PlantPreviousNext

A Ukrainian drone attack near the Russian-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant reportedly killed two people, including a female employee. The plant, seized by Russian forces early in the 2022 invasion, has been a site of ongoing military tensions with both sides accusing each other of actions risking nuclear safety. The UN's IAEA confirmed an employee's death but provided no details. The plant remains offline, and calls for military restraint around the facility continue.
