Reportedon one origin only: 1 distinct origin, 1 tied to no party.

The International Atomic Energy Agency said it was told a drone hit a transport workshop near the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in Enerhodar, killing a driver, and that its team on site was investigating. Director General Rafael Grossi said strikes on or near nuclear plants endanger nuclear safety and must not take place. The plant's reactors are shut down but still rely on external power for cooling. The IAEA did not say who carried out the strike.
