The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) says he is negotiating a new local ceasefire amid drone strikes reported near the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine.
The UN nuclear watchdog said the recently reported attacks near the plant include strikes on the nearby Zaporizhzhia Thermal Power Plant, a separate facility in the same area. The agency has not detailed the extent of any damage from the strikes.
IAEA officials have repeatedly raised concerns about the safety of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, Europe's largest, given its location near the front line of the war in Ukraine and recurring reports of military activity nearby.
Details of the proposed local ceasefire, including its scope and the parties involved, have not been fully disclosed. The IAEA has previously sought arrangements aimed at protecting the plant's safety systems from the effects of nearby fighting.
