The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said Monday that meteorological monitoring equipment at Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant's External Radiation Control Laboratory (ERCL) had been damaged by a drone.

The Zaporizhzhia plant, one of Europe's largest nuclear facilities, has been under Russian control since March 2022.

An IAEA team visited the lab and confirmed the damage a day after the plant reported being targeted by a drone, the agency said on social media, adding the equipment is no longer operational.

IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi once again called for maximum military restraint near all nuclear facilities to avoid safety risks.

The IAEA said on Sunday that it had been informed by the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant that a drone had targeted the plant's ERCL earlier in the day.

The plant has been subjected to repeated shelling and drone attacks, raising concerns about nuclear safety.
