TL;DR Summary

Russia's evacuation of civilians from near the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine has raised concerns about escalating conflict in the area. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has repeatedly raised concerns over the safety of the plant, which has been on the front line since Russian forces seized it last year. IAEA chief Rafael Grossi warned of dangerous conditions around Europe's largest nuclear power plant and expressed concern about the real nuclear safety and security risks facing the plant. The evacuation is part of a wider removal order that extends to 18 other frontline locations in the Zaporizhzhia region.
