The International Atomic Energy Agency's leader warns of an 'increasingly unpredictable and potentially dangerous' situation near the Zaporizhizhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine.
Balitsky said Ukraine’s forces had intensified attacks on the area in the past several days., where Ukrainian forces are still clinging to a position on the western outskirts despite Russia trying to take the city for more than nine months.
International law prohibits the use of white phosphorus or other incendiary weapons — munitions designed to set fire to objects or cause burn injuries — in areas where there could be concentrations of civilians, though it can also be used for illumination or to create smokescreens. In the south, an aide to the exiled Ukrainian mayor of the Russia-occupied coastal city of Mariupol said in a Telegram post Sunday that there was evidence that Moscow’s forces had intensified their transfer of tracked vehicles through the city and into Zaporizhzhia province.
In Enerhodar, the first residents evacuated were those who took Russian citizenship following the capture of the city by Moscow early in the war, the General Staff of Ukraine’s armed forces said. Elsewhere, Russian shelling on Saturday and overnight killed six civilians and wounded four others in Ukraine’s southern Kherson region, according to a Telegram update published Sunday by the local administration.

The plant is near the front lines of fighting.
