Situation at Zaporizhzhya NPP

Earlier, Enerhoatom reported that the occupants continue to mine the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, so the situation at the plant remains difficult. According to the President of the company Petro Kotin, they continue to use ZNPP as their military base. After the information about possible additional plant mining, IAEA experts conducted an inspection, but the Russians did not provide an opportunity to inspect the roof of the power units.

However, during the inspection on 23 July, the IAEA found several anti-personnel mines at the plant.
