A team of 14 inspectors from the UN International Atomic Energy Agency has arrived in the city of Zaporizhzhia in eastern Ukraine, where they are set to investigate damages and security systems at the nearby nuclear power plant. The site has been under fire several times during since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

In March, the power plant was seized by Russian forces. In the wake of this move, the IAEA has warned of a potential nuclear disaster, while both Ukraine and Russia have accused one another of launching missiles close by.

Since leaving Kyiv and setting the course for the Zaporizhzhia power plant Wednesday afternoon, new allegations have emerged of Russian attacks in the area.

Ukraine accuses Russia of having bombed Energodar, a town close to the nuclear power plant.

Even though Zaporizhzhia is a two-hour drive from the power plant, it is uncertain when and how the IAEA delegation will reach the site.

IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi told journalists prior to the departure to Kyiv that they would spend a couple of days investigating the plant.

The IAEA mission is a step towards ”deoccupying and demilitarizing” the site, according to Ukrainian Minister of Energy German Galuschenko in an interview, according to Reuters.

Ukrainian staff are still working at the plant under the supervision of Russian forces.
