Fears of 'serious nuclear accident' in Ukraine as atomic experts beg 'stop'.

Posted: 9th November 2026

‘stop’. The UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency is pleading with Russia
and Ukraine to halt military operations at key nuclear facilities, fearing
continued strikes could lead to a disaster. Officials said there was
“extensive damage” to transmission and distribution networks, while
power lines that transmit electricity from nuclear power plants to Kyiv and
central regions of Ukraine “were also damaged”. There was also an
attack on the substations connecting the Rivne and Khmelnytskyi nuclear
power plants, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said. This follows the death of
an employee at the Russian-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant -
Europe’s largest nuclear plant – following a strike in October. The
Zaporizhzhia plant, in southern Ukraine, was the centre of intense fighting
when Russia first invaded.
