The Russian Federation accused the Ukrainian Armed Forces of launching UAVs at the Zaporizhia NPP. The Main Intelligence Directorate stated that Ukraine was not involved in any armed provocations at the nuclear power plant.
Three direct hits were made on the protective structures of the main reactor of the Zaporizhia NPP. IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi announced this on Sunday, April 7, on the X microblog (formerly Twitter).
According to him, this happened for the first time since November 2022.
“The IAEA and ISAMZ (the agency’s support and assistance mission in Zaporozhye) have confirmed that there were at least three direct hits on the main containment vessel structure of the Zaporozhye reactor. This should not have happened,” he wrote.
Rosatom has traditionally blamed the Ukrainian military for the strike, reporting injuries during the “strike.”
The Main Intelligence Directorate said that Ukraine was not involved in the explosions and other armed provocative actions of the aggressor country taking place on the territory of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, which is occupied by Russian troops. The drone strike near a reactor controlled by an aggressor country was a simulated Russian strike on the plant’s territory.
The previous day, the International Atomic Energy Agency reported a drone explosion on the territory of the plant. IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said the agency received a report of a drone attack on one of the units of the occupied Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.
