Russia Says Ukrainian Drone Wounded Two Workers At Zaporizhzhia Plant
Zaporizhzhia, Europe's largest nuclear plant, has sat under Russian military control since March 2022, drawing repeated strikes.
- Russia's Foreign Ministry blamed a targeted Ukrainian drone strike for the August 25 injuries.
- The reactors have sat offline since 2022 but still need power to keep cooling systems running.
- The IAEA keeps permanent monitors on site after years of dueling shelling accusations.
Why it matters: A nuclear plant contested by two armies has no witness besides the armies themselves.
