On Monday, April 22, IAEA experts visited the training center located near the perimeter of the ZNPP site. It was the first time they had visited the center since reports of drone attacks on the building on April 7, 9, and 18.

We have not been aware of any drone attacks since the incident was reported a week ago, which is encouraging. However, we know from experience that the situation can deteriorate dramatically at any time. The situation remains highly unpredictable
