Russians must IMMEDIATELY cease the fire, allow firefighters, establish a security zone!" he tweeted. The International Atomic Energy Agency's director-general, Rafael Mariano Grossi, said on Friday that a"projectile" hit a training facility at the plant that is not part of the reactor."It's important to say that all the safety systems of the six reactors at the plant were not affected at all, and that there has been no release of radioactive material," he said."[There is] no release of radioactive material.
He added that if an explosion had happened as a result of the attack, it could have caused a critical situation that would have been equal to"six Chernobyls."
