UN Nuclear Chief Warns of Serious Risk at Russian Kursk Plant

IAEA's Rafael Grossi highlights vulnerability and potential for a nuclear accident amid ongoing conflict near the facility.

The Kursk plant lacks a containment dome, making it highly exposed to attacks.
IAEA's Grossi visited the site to independently assess the situation and saw drone damage.
Russia accuses Ukraine of targeting the plant; Ukraine has not responded to these claims.
The plant's operational status increases the severity of potential impacts from nearby fighting.
Both Russian and Ukrainian forces are urged to avoid military actions near nuclear sites.
