IAEA chief: ‘Physical integrity’ of Russian-held nuclear plant in Ukraine ‘violated’

NOVOOLEKSANDRIVKA, Ukraine — The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) says that the “physical integrity” of the Moscow-controlled Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in southern Ukraine has been “violated” after the facility has been frequently shelled.

“It is obvious that the plant and physical integrity of the plant has been violated several times,” Rafael Grossi, who is leading an inspection of the plant, tells reporters after he returned with part of his team to the Ukrainian-controlled area.
