The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has reported that explosions were heard and smoke was seen near Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.

According to the agency, the plant stated that one of its auxiliary facilities had been attacked earlier today.

“The auxiliary facility is located approximately 1,200 metres from the perimeter of the plant, and the IAEA team could still see smoke rising from that direction in the afternoon,” the nuclear watchdog said.
