IAEA experts requested access to confirm the absence of mines at the Zaporizhzhia NPP

This is stated in a statement by the agency's director general Rafael Grossi.

According to him, experts need access to the roofs of reactor units 3 and 4, as well as to the turbine halls and to some parts of the cooling system of nuclear power plants.

Earlier, Grossi said that the IAEA during the latest inspections did not reveal signs of mining of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.

The day before, the adviser to the general director of Rosenergoatom, Renat Karchaa, said that Ukraine was going to attack the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant on the night of July 5 using high-precision weapons and kamikaze drones.

A spokesman for the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, announced the threat of sabotage by the Kyiv regime at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, which could have catastrophic consequences.
