The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has announced that the protective shield over the Chernobyl nuclear power plant has lost its ability to confine radiation following recent drone strikes. The UN nuclear watchdog has expressed grave concern over the structural integrity of the facility, stating that it no longer performs its key safety functions and urgent repairs are needed. IAEA officials warn that further damage could pose a significant safety risk, raising fears of potential radioactive leaks. The ongoing conflict has led to increased attacks on energy infrastructure in the region, and the situation remains critical.
