"Radiation levels at the site remain normal," the organization announced in a post on X.

A drone crashed on Tuesday near a cooling plant at the nuclear power plant, which is Europe's largest.

Two more attacks occurred on Wednesday, when explosions were reported at a nuclear waste storage facility and a sprinkler system.

IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi says the attacks are unacceptable and calls for "maximum military restraint to avoid the risk of a nuclear accident."

The nuclear power plant is controlled by Russian occupation forces. The IAEA has a permanent presence at the facility, whose six reactors have been shut down since 2022.
