Two power plant employees were killed in separate drone attacks near Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant and Zaporizhzhya Thermal Power Plant, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said Monday, according to Anadolu Agency.
In a statement on “X”, the IAEA said it had been informed that an employee of the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant was killed in a drone attack that day. It said the incident further endangered nuclear safety and security amid the military conflict.
An employee of the nearby Zaporizhzhya Thermal Power Plant was also killed by a drone, the agency added.
The deaths came after reports that another employee of the nuclear facility had been killed in a drone strike several days earlier.
IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi strongly condemned what he called unacceptable attacks, describing them as violations of essential nuclear safety pillars.
Grossi called for an immediate halt to attacks targeting nuclear plant workers and stressed that personnel must be able to carry out their duties without undue stress or fear.
