UN nuclear agency chief says the 'physical integrity' of Europe's largest nuclear plant has been 'vi
'violated' and that he's worried
A top UN nuclear watchdog official said the "physical integrity" of southern Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant caught in the center of intense hostilities and fighting has been "violated."
"It is obvious that the plant and physical integrity of the plant has been violated several times," International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi told reporters on Thursday, according to media reports, including The Guardian.
Grossi returned on Thursday from a highly anticipated inspection of the plant, which is occupied by Russian forces and is the largest in Europe.
"There were moments where fire was obvious, heavy machine gun, artillery, mortars, at two or three times really, very concerning, I would say, for all of us," Grossi said in a video captured by freelance journalist Sergio Olmos.
