The UN atomic watchdog head warned of a \u201cmajor nuclear accident\u201d after a new drone attack on Ukraine\u2019s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) called the attack \u201creckless\u201d after an explosion near the reactor building and a hit on the dome of the plant\u2019s sixth power unit. This is the first such attack on Zaporizhzhia power plant since November 2022 in military action.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a major escalation of the nuclear safety and security dangers facing the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. Such reckless attacks significantly increase the risk of a major nuclear accident and must cease immediately,\u201d IAEA chief Rafael Mariano Grossi said.<\/p>\n
At least one casualty is also suspected as blood stains were found by an IAEA team outside a laboratory next to a damaged military logistics vehicle.<\/p>\n
This comes as Volodymyr Zelensky warned that Ukraine will lose the war against Russia if the US Congress does not approve military aid to help repel Moscow\u2019s invasion.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is necessary to specifically tell Congress that if Congress does not help Ukraine, Ukraine will lose the war,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cUkraine is not involved in any kind of armed provocations on the territory of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant illegally occupied by Russia,\u201d Andriy Yusov, spokesperson for Ukraine\u2019s Main Directorate of Intelligence, told the Ukrainska Pravda media outlet.<\/p>\n
\u201cRussian strikes, including imitation ones, on the territory of the Ukrainian nuclear power plant have long been a well known criminal practice of the invaders,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
