The IAEA said a drone attack on 29 October reportedly killed a welder working at the centralised repair workshop of the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. Director General Grossi called attacks on plant personnel unacceptable, while the agency did not say whether Russian or Ukrainian forces were responsible. The death is reported rather than confirmed, and no independent verification is available.
