The IAEA announces the detection of damage to the building of the turbine hall of power unit No. 4 of the Zaporizhzhia NPP, from the outside it looks like significant damage to the windows. The IAEA cannot explain what caused it, as the damage does not correspond to previously reported incidents, the Agency's website says.
