IAEA: Russian Strikes Threaten Ukraine Nukes
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has issued a dire warning that recent Russian missile and drone attacks, targeting vital energy substations, are gravely imperiling the safety of Ukraine's nuclear power plants, forcing some to reduce output or lose external power. Ukraine has condemned these assaults as "nuclear terrorism," underscoring the persistent threat to critical infrastructure and the fragile nuclear safety across the country, including ongoing efforts to restore a crucial backup power line at the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia plant.
