Two workers at the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) and the neighboring Zaporizhia Thermal Power Plant (ZTPP) were killed in separate drone strikes on November 9, according to the IAEA. Another attack near a bus stop used by factory workers killed one person and injured 16. The IAEA has not identified those responsible.
The Director General of the IAEA, Raphael Grossi, condemned the attacks and called for an immediate end to this type of attacks. Another ZNPP worker was killed by a drone a few days earlier.
The ZNPP has not produced electricity since September 2022 but still depends on external power to cool its nuclear fuel. On Nov. 8, it lost external power again, marking the 16th full outage since early 2026, according to Energoatom.
