Overview

• IAEA experts at the Zaporizhzhia site reported several rounds of incoming and outgoing shelling in the vicinity.
• Two rounds struck approximately 1.25 kilometers from the plant’s perimeter, according to the IAEA.
• The plant has had no off‑site power for nearly two weeks after the last external line was disconnected on September 23, the IAEA said.
• Ukrinform reports the backup line was cut by Russian forces in May and that occupation authorities have not granted security guarantees for Ukrenergo repair crews.
• Energoatom says a line on Ukrainian‑controlled territory remains functional, and Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha alleges Russia severed connections to prepare a switch to its own grid.
