伦敦——周六，国际原子能机构(International Atomic Energy Agency)总干事表示“严重关切”，此前莫斯科指责乌克兰军队对乌克兰南部被俄罗斯占领的扎波里日亚(Zaporizhzhia)核电站发动无人机袭击——基辅否认了这一指控。
国际原子能机构在发布给x的一份声明中表示，这将是自2024年4月以来ZNPP周边地区的首次无人机袭击。俄罗斯军队在2022年初全面入侵乌克兰的头几天占领了该地区。该设施现在距离前线最近的部分大约30英里。
“ZNPP通知国际原子能机构，一架无人机今天击中了该地点的一座涡轮机建筑，据报道在墙上造成了一个洞，”该机构在声明中说。
声明补充说，国际原子能机构总干事拉斐尔·格罗斯(Rafael Grossi)“对报道的事件表示严重关切，该事件将危及确保冲突期间核安全的七个不可或缺的支柱以及保护ZNPP的五项具体原则，这些原则明确指出，“不应有任何来自或针对该工厂的攻击。”
格罗斯警告说，“攻击核设施就像玩火，”国际原子能机构写道，并补充说，它要求“进入受影响的涡轮建筑进行第一手检查。”
乌克兰南部防御部队——一个监督南部前线的军事组织——否认了俄罗斯的指控，并指责莫斯科从事“核恐怖主义”。
“俄罗斯联邦继续利用Zaporizhzhia核电厂作为核讹诈和信息挑衅的工具。该机构在一份声明中称，占领控制的资源所传播的报告称，乌克兰国防军袭击了ZNPP的设施，这是试图抹黑乌克兰并掩盖俄罗斯自己的犯罪行为的又一次尝试。
“乌克兰军人严格按照国际人道主义法的规范行事，完全理解任何涉及核设施的行动的后果，”它补充说。
“是俄罗斯自2022年3月以来非法占领并军事控制了ZNPP，将民用核设施变成了军事基础设施的一部分。俄罗斯军队违反了在工厂周围5公里范围内部署军事资产的限制，在其领土上部署电子战系统、武器、军事装备和人员，”该部队继续说。
南方国防军在声明中表示，俄罗斯没有公布“据称显示袭击后果的高质量照片或视频”，并表示乌克兰军队不拥有“制造俄方描述的那种破坏所必需的”无人机
与此同时，乌克兰外交部发表声明，称俄罗斯的报道是“毫无根据的指控”
IAEA issues Ukraine nuclear plant warning after Russia alleges Zaporizhzhia attack
LONDON --The chief of the International Atomic Energy Agency on Saturday expressed "serious concern" after Moscow accused Ukrainian forces of launching a drone attack on the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in southern Ukraine -- an allegation that Kyiv denied.
The incident would be the first drone attack within the ZNPP perimeter since April 2024, the IAEA said in a statement posted to X. Russian forces captured the site in the opening days of Moscow's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in early 2022. The facility now sits around 30 miles from the closest portion of the front line.
"The IAEA has been informed by the ZNPP that a drone today struck a turbine building at the site, reportedly causing a hole in its wall," the agency said in its statement.
IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi, the statement added, "expresses serious concern about the reported incident which would endanger both the seven indispensable pillars for ensuring nuclear safety during the conflict as well as the five concrete principles to protect the ZNPP, which clearly state that 'there should be no attack of any kind from or against' the plant."
Grossi warned that "attacking nuclear sites is like playing with fire," the IAEA wrote, adding that it requested "access to examine the affected turbine building first-hand."
Ukraine's Southern Defense Forces -- a military grouping which oversees the southern front -- denied the Russian allegation and accused Moscow of engaging in "nuclear terrorism."
"The Russian Federation continues to use the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant as a tool of nuclear blackmail and information provocations. Reports circulated by occupation-controlled resources claiming that Ukraine's Defense Forces struck facilities at the ZNPP are another attempt to discredit Ukraine and conceal Russia's own criminal actions," the unit said in a statement.
"Ukrainian service members operate strictly within the norms of international humanitarian law and fully understand the consequences of any actions involving nuclear facilities," it added.
"It is Russia that has illegally occupied and militarily controlled the ZNPP since March 2022, turning a civilian nuclear facility into an element of military infrastructure. Russian forces violate restrictions on the deployment of military assets within the 5-kilometer zone around the plant, placing electronic warfare systems, weapons, military equipment and personnel on its territory," the force continued.
The Southern Defense Forces said in its statement that Russia had not published "high-quality photos or videos allegedly showing the consequences of the strike" and said that Ukrainian forces do not possess the drones "necessary to create the kind of damage described by the Russian side."
Ukraine's Foreign Ministry, meanwhile, issued a statement describing the Russian reports as "baseless accusations."
