Ukraine and Russia have agreed on a local ceasefire near the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. This made it possible to begin repair work on a power transmission line near the facility, according to International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi, APA reports.

“IAEA team is monitoring repairs expected to last a few days, as part of persistent efforts to prevent nuclear accident during military conflict,” the statement said.

According to him, the work is being carried out as part of the agency’s continuous efforts to prevent a nuclear accident amid full-scale war.

Grossi thanked both sides for agreeing to a new temporary “window of silence,” which allowed the restoration of power transmission between the distribution substations of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant and the Zaporizhzhia Thermal Power Plant. It is expected that this will help improve nuclear safety at the site.
