Russia's recent drone and missile attacks have compelled Ukraine to disconnect several nuclear power units from the grid, according to information shared by the Ukrainian mission to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Thursday.

In a note to the IAEA, the mission underscored that Russia's continued targeting of Ukraine's energy infrastructure aims to disrupt the functionality of the country's nuclear power plants. This deliberate strategy poses a significant risk to the stable operation of these crucial nuclear facilities.

The escalating attacks have raised concerns about the safety and reliability of Ukraine's nuclear power operations, highlighting the broader implications of the conflict on the region's energy stability.
