Drone explosion at Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant kills one worker and injures 15
A drone exploded at a bus stop used by employees of the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. The IAEA said one person was killed and 15 injured, calling it the worst event the facility had experienced. The incident matters globally because a strike immediately beside Europe’s largest nuclear power plant creates a security risk extending far beyond Ukraine. Internazionale
