Literally: "Over the past week, the IAEA Support and Assistance Mission in Zaporizhzhia (ISAMZ) has observed fires several times at different distances from the plant and nearby villages. Over the weekend, the IAEA experts observed smoke coming from the area north of the ZNPP near the ZNPP inlet channel."
Details: The agency noted that the fire was under the overhead power cables that remained to power the plant.
Literally: "As the summer heat continues, such fires along the routes of the two remaining lines put ZNPP at risk of losing external power supply. Although none of the lines were disconnected this time, the situation emphasized the fragility of ZNPP's external power supply."
