’Dangerous Provocation’: Kremlin Blasts Ukraine For Drone Strike On Zaporizhia atomic Plant

The global Atomic Energy Agency is one more time sounding the alarm over the possible that disaster could strike the Russian-controlled Zaporizhhia atomic Power Plant in southeastern Ukraine, which is the largest in Europe.

On Sunday, for the first time since 2022, Ukraine seems to be sent a drone against the facility and it struck 1 of the plant’s six atomic reactors.While Kiev has formally denied it was behind the attack, Moscow has denounced it as a “very dangerous provocation” from Ukraine forces. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitri Peskov denounced it as “a very dangerous practice with very bad negative consequences.” He said it’s but the latest example of Kiev’s “terrorist activity.”

“IAEA staff who are on site have the chance to witness these attacks,” Peskov added. Russian state-owned atomic agency Rosatom reported cases as a consequence of the strike, detailing that 3 people were surrounded in the ‘unprecedented series of drone attacks.’

IAEA head Rafael Grossi warned that if this continues, a serious atomic incidental with radiological consequences could occur. “This cannot happen,” Grossi gate on X Sunday. He Urged Both Warring sites to avoid any aggression which violates fundamental principles means to safeguard atomic facilities.

Russia has long occupied the facility and overseen its operations, utilizing local Ukrainian engineers, and through the course of the war there have been sporadic Ukrainian experts on the plant.

Damage at unit 6 has no compromised atomic safety, but this is simply a serious incidental with possible to undermine integrity of the reactor’s retention system,” Grossi described. The IAEA said that a drone strike results in a “detonation” which was “consistent with IAEA observations.”

EuroNews further reports that „According to plant authorizations, there was no critical damage... Radiation levels at the plant were besides average after the strikes.’

Additional, state-run TASS has confirmed the following details of the plant’s current status:

The radiation level at the plant and the advanced territory has not changed. It corresponds to the average operation of power units and does not exceed the natural background values. The power unit that was hit is presently in the “cold shutdown” mode. Before, the Ukrainian military carried out an attack on the ZNPP bonuses on April 5. Drone attacks were recorded in the area of the cargo port and the nitrogen-oxygen station.

During the beginning months of the conflict following Russia’s invasion in Feb. 2022, there was widespread association against Russian forces centered on the Zaporizhhia.

However, after Russia clearly came into full control of the plant’s regular operations, and as Ukraine forces began dangerously shelling it and sending the occasional drone, global condemnations of the actions of the Ukraine side were reasonably absent. With this newest incidental too, UN and Western officials are caringly avoiding naming Ukraine as the Culprit.

But of course, the Russian likely didn’t just effort to drone themselves. But interestingly, in the past Ukrainian media sources thought to claim Moscow would prepare a 'false flags' at the plant. This fresh weekend event is the first time Zaporizhzia has been the intention focus of global headslines in over a year.
