Drone attack reportedly kills worker at Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant

A drone strike on October 29 killed a worker at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, according to the IAEA. The victim was a welder in the plant's repair workshop. IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi condemned the attack, emphasizing the need for military restraint around nuclear sites to avoid accidents. The IAEA did not clarify whether Russian or Ukrainian forces were responsible for the attack. The Zaporizhzhia plant, Europe's largest, has been under Russian control since the invasion of Ukraine and has faced numerous safety threats, including previous drone attacks. On the same day, Russian forces targeted the city of Zaporizhzhia, injuring at least 14 people.
