The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Saturday (May 30, 2026) stated it has actually been notified by the Zaporizhzhia nuclear reactor in southeastern Ukraine that a drone today struck a turbine structure at the website, apparently triggering a hole in its wall.

IAEA chief Rafael Grossi revealed major issue about the reported occurrence and stated “Attacking nuclear websites resembles playing with fire.”

The IAEA’s group at the Russian-held power plant has actually asked for access to analyze the afflicted turbine structure first-hand, the firm stated in an X post.
