Nuclear Watchdog Oversees Critical Repairs at Occupied Ukrainian Plant

A United Nations nuclear watchdog team is now monitoring urgent repairs at Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia power plant. The work comes during a temporary local ceasefire. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) announced the start of the operation. Repairs are expected to last several days. The goal is to fix damage near Europe's largest nuclear facility. The plant has been under Russian military control since March 2022. Both sides have repeatedly accused the other of shelling near the site, raising global safety fears. The IAEA stated this action is part of its persistent efforts to prevent a nuclear accident during the ongoing conflict. Its experts will remain on-site to oversee the vital work.
