The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported a concerning development at Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant on Saturday, following explosions and visible smoke near the facility. According to IAEA's statement, an auxiliary structure sustained an attack, causing unrest in the area.

Positioned 1,200 meters away from Zaporizhzhia's perimeter, the auxiliary facility was compromised, leading the IAEA team to witness plumes of smoke during the afternoon hours. This incident underscores the heightened tension surrounding nuclear safety in the region.

With ongoing instability, the situation at Zaporizhzhia has prompted international scrutiny, as experts and authorities closely monitor potential risks associated with the nearby explosive event.
