"The UN nuclear energy watchdog has said the forces behind the shelling of
Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia power plant are “playing with fire”, after a series of
explosions shook the facility.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which has experts based at
Zaporizhzhia, reported on Sunday that powerful explosions had shaken the area
on Saturday night and Sunday. It said its on-site experts saw some of the
explosions from their windows.
It reported more than a dozen blasts from apparent shelling, with damage to
some buildings, systems and equipment, but “none so far critical for nuclear
safety”.
The head of the IAEA, Rafael Grossi, said the news was extremely disturbing and
he called the explosions completely unacceptable. “Whoever is behind this, it
must stop immediately. As I have said many times before, you’re playing with
fire,” he said.
According to the IAEA Twitter account, Grossi renewed his appeal to Ukraine and
Russia to agree and implement a nuclear safety and security zone around the
plant as soon as possible."
