"Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant Targeted in Russia-Ukraine Feud"

Russia and Ukraine are in a heated dispute over alleged drone attacks on the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, with Moscow accusing Kyiv of launching "dangerous" strikes and Kyiv dismissing the claims as "fake" information. The incident has escalated tensions between the two countries, with Russia occupying the plant since its 2022 invasion. The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed a "physical impact" on one reactor and one casualty, but stated that nuclear safety was not compromised. Both sides are trading accusations and seeking international condemnation, while the situation remains a source of concern for nuclear safety in Europe.
