The IAEA has been notified of the Ukrainian Armed Forces attack on the NPP transport workshop

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has received information about a massive attack by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) launched on the transport workshop of the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant (NPP). This was announced on June 19 by the director of the facility, Yuri Chernichuk.

"We have notified them about the events that are unfolding in the Zaporozhye NPP transport center," he shared in an interview with the Vesti news agency.

Chernichuk added that the notification of the incident took place around 06:00 Moscow time — since then he has not seen an official reaction to the incident from the Director of the IAEA, Rafael Grossi, or the entire agency.

A massive attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the nuclear power plant became known on the morning of the same day. The territory of the facility was attacked by heavy drones. The events forced the management of the station to temporarily reduce the number of its employees, as the shift shift took place under fire.

Mikhail Ulyanov, Russia's Permanent Representative to the International Organizations in Vienna, commented on the incident and its consequences in a conversation with Izvestia on June 19. He pointed to the West's indifference to Kiev's actions.
