Summary
Damage to Iranian nuclear site not ‘very significant’ and ‘no casualties’, says IAEA
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Rafael Grossi told reporters that the strike on Iran’s Bushehr nuclear site did not hit the actual power plant but landed on the premises, not causing any "very significant" damage.
“The reactors have not been affected and there are no casualties,” Grossi reported, but added that the IAEA had not independently confirmed the damage.
Nevertheless, he emphasised that “any attack on any nuclear facility should always be avoided”.
