The UN nuclear energy monitoring agency stated that the confirmation is based on its independent analysis of new satellite images and detailed knowledge of the location. The announcement specified that one of the missiles landed at a distance of only 75 meters from the facility's fence.
IAEA emphasized that, despite the immediate proximity of the strike, there are no indications that the infrastructure of the Bushehr nuclear power plant itself has been damaged. It was stressed that the situation continues to be closely monitored through available technical means and information from the field.
Last week, the agency reported that Iran had informed it about a projectile that hit an area near the perimeter of the Bushehr nuclear power plant.
Based on subsequent technical verification and data comparison, IAEA has now confirmed the impact of recent strikes in the immediate vicinity of this nuclear facility, reiterating the message that the plant itself did not suffer direct damage.
