The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said it was informed that a drone struck the cooling tower of a reactor unit at Russia's Kursk Nuclear Power Plant, according to Anadolu Agency.

The UN nuclear watchdog said no fire broke out following the strike and that the operating status of the reactor was not changed as a result of the incident.

Details on who was informed, the timing of the strike, and the source of the drone were not specified in the available information.

The Kursk Nuclear Power Plant is located in western Russia, a region that has periodically been the site of military activity amid the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine.

The IAEA has repeatedly stressed the importance of nuclear safety at facilities located near or within conflict zones, monitoring developments at plants including Kursk and the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine.

No further details were immediately available regarding the extent of any damage to the cooling tower or whether an investigation into the incident has been launched.
