JAKARTA - Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi arrived in the Russian city of Kurchatov to review the security of the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant, which Moscow said had been repeatedly attacked by Ukrainian forces in recent weeks.
Grossi's visit was made in response to security concerns arising from the Ukrainian forces' attack on the Kursk region, which began on August 6.
Grossi plans to visit the plant, meet with management, and assess the situation and severity of the threat to the plant.
As reported by ANTARA from Anadolu, Tuesday, August 27, the head of the nuclear watchdog agency had previously warned of the serious risk of damage to the Kursk NPP due to the military attack that occurred, emphasizing that the IAEA takes the situation around the plant very seriously.
On August 22, Ukraine attempted to carry out a kamikaze drone attack on the Kursk nuclear plant, but the combat drone was shot down near the spent nuclear fuel storage facility.
Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova condemned the attack, calling it "an act of nuclear terrorism that requires immediate action from the IAEA."
The Kursk NPP is one of the largest nuclear power plants in Russia and is an important part of the country's Unified Energy System, which provides electricity to 19 regions in the Central Federal District.
