IAEA warns of nuclear risks in Ukraine as Russian strikes disrupt power, forcing emergency measures at Chornobyl.

The IAEA warns of ongoing nuclear safety risks in Ukraine due to Russian attacks disrupting the power grid, causing a reactor shutdown and forcing reliance on emergency generators at Chornobyl. Three IAEA teams are assessing 10 key substations to improve grid resilience. Meanwhile, Ukraine faces emergency power cuts after new strikes, with officials stabilizing the grid through rolling blackouts. The WHO seeks $42 million to sustain healthcare for 700,000 Ukrainians, as over 2,800 attacks on health facilities have been verified since 2022 and energy shortages persist.
