IAEA reports drone strikes near Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, seeks new ceasefire for repairs
The IAEA has reported a series of drone strikes on September 19, 20, and 27 that damaged transformers at the nearby Zaporizhzhia Thermal Power Station, which are critical for the external power supply of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. Director General Rafael Grossi is negotiating with both sides for a new localized ceasefire to enable repair work. Separately, a September 22 attack took a radiation monitoring station outside the plant out of operation, reducing the IAEA's ability to track radiation levels near ZNPP.
