IAEA brokers local truce at Zaporizhzhia NPP

The International Atomic Energy Agency has reached a new local truce in the area of the occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, which came into effect to restore the plant's backup power supply via the 330 kV line.

This was reported in an IAEA post on the social network X, CE Report quotes Ukrinform.

“Another IAEA-brokered local ceasefire is now in effect to enable restoration of the 330 kV backup power supply to the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant,” the post reads.

According to IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi, demining work is continuing to ensure safe access for repair crews.

As reported, the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in southeastern Ukraine, which is under Russian occupation, has been operating on a single external power line since the backup line failed in mid-February.
