## Summary

A drone attack killed a worker at the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant on Monday, the International Atomic Energy Agency said. The agency warned that attacks on plant staff further endanger nuclear safety during the war.

A worker at the nearby Zaporizhzhia thermal power station was also killed in a drone attack that day. The IAEA said a nuclear plant employee was killed in a similar attack in late October and called for all attacks on nuclear workers to stop. Russian forces seized the European Union’s largest nuclear facility in March 2022; its six reactors have been shut down since that year, and IAEA teams have remained on site since September 2022.
