The pro-Russian authorities denounce an attempted drone attack against the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant

MADRID, 5 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Russian administrator of the occupied region of Zaporizhia, Vladimir Rogov, has denounced this Wednesday an attempted attack with a drone by the Ukrainian Army against the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant, the largest in Europe, and has stressed that the device has fallen "within a few hundred meters" of the facility.

"The terrorists of (Ukrainian President Volodimir) Zelensky were preparing an attack against the (Zaporizhia) nuclear power plant," Rogov said in a message on his Telegram account, in which he indicated that "according to preliminary information, his target was an object on the territory of the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant".

On the other hand, he stressed that "terrorists" install explosives "of up to 800 grams of TNT equivalent" in drones. "Zelensky's militiamen began carrying out their first attempts to attack the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant with drones a year ago, in April 2022," Rogov, president of the We Stand Together with Russia movement, has settled.

The complaint has come on a day in which the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, will travel to the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad, where he will resume talks on the situation at the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant, under management Russian for several months.

Grossi visited the nuclear power plant last week and reported that the talks between the Russian and Ukrainian parties had recently focused on establishing a series of "basic principles of protection", leaving aside the IAEA's intention to ensure that both countries agree to establish a buffer zone around the facilities.

The Zaporizhia plant is the largest in Europe and has six reactors commissioned between 1984 and 1995. It has been controlled by Russian forces since March last year, shortly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine began, and has been the scene of constant offensive and coveted piece by both Kiev and Moscow.
