Overview
- Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry said Russia launched targeted attacks on substations that supply external power to nuclear facilities, calling the strikes acts of nuclear terrorism.
- The IAEA reported military activity that damaged substations near the South Ukraine and Khmelnitskyi plants, with each site losing an external power line and no attribution assigned.
- The agency said the Rivne station cut output at two of its four reactors in response to grid conditions linked to the incidents.
- At the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia plant, efforts continue to reconnect a second external power line, and the facility is not generating electricity.
- Reuters reported no immediate response from Russian authorities, and recent outages left Zaporizhzhia relying on diesel generators for about a month in September and October.
