One of the substations near Zaporizhzhia NPP was attacked by a drone

One of the substations near the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia NPP was allegedly attacked by a drone. IAEA experts said they heard explosions.

This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to the IAEA press service.

According to the IAEA, the nuclear safety situation remained unstable over the past week: one team sought shelter due to the presence of drones in the area, another team heard anti-aircraft fire and a powerful explosion during an air raid, and the third team visited the site of a possible drone attack.

Also at ZNPP, the IAEA team heard explosions throughout the week, including several explosions near the site. No damage to the plant was reported.

In addition, a suspected drone strike was reported on Friday afternoon at a 35/6 kV substation about 300 meters from the plant. This substation supplies electricity to ZNPP facilities that are not related to safety.
