"What other terror attacks are needed for resolute action by partners, including the IAEA?" the operator added.

As previously reported, Energoatom had warned of the invaders' intentions to blow up ammunition at the Zaporizhia NPP.

Russian troops captured the NPP on the night of March 4. The station was stormed by an enemy convoy, consisting of about 100 armored hardware units.

Three National Guardsmen were killed and two others were injured in the assault.

Later, Russia’s Rosatom representatives, including former Ukrainian nuclear power plant workers, arrived at the Zaporizhia NPP to take over control.
