Russia laid mines in Ukraine's nuclear plant

 Russia planted mines in Ukraine's nuclear reactor, breaking the law, according to the UN; Zelensky had claimed that Russia intended to destroy the facility.

The Ukrainian nuclear power plant Zaporizhia has mines that have been planted there, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency, or IAEA. The IAEA's director general, Rafael Grossi, stated that Russia's action is against safety protocol. These mines are situated between the internal and external barriers in the plant's buffer zone.

The IAEA claims that during the previous inspection, their inspector had also seen mines. Laying mines within the nuclear station is against UN rules and security advice, according to a statement released on Monday by Rafael. The employees there are also under psychological pressure as a result of this.

In the event of an explosion, there is less chance that the security system will sustain damage.

The plant's security system is not anticipated to be harmed even if it bursts in the future, according to the IAEA. According to the IAEA, these mines are located in areas where staff members are not permitted to move. The Russian military is in charge of these locations.

According to Ukraine, after the Kakhovka dam, plans were made to dismantle the plant.

Ukraine accused Russia of attempting to destroy the Zaporizhia Nuclear Plant about 20 days ago. According to Ukraine, Russia has planted explosives and mines on the nuclear plant's roof. Following this, the IAEA requested to look into Ukraine's claims. Russia had requested expanded access to the nuclear reactor in exchange for this.

According to intelligence agencies cited by Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky, Russia damaged our Kakhovka dam last month. He is currently getting ready to destroy the nuclear facility. In preparation for an assault, Ukraine had also conducted drilling in the vicinity of the plant.
