VIENNA, February 10. /TASS/. One of the units of Ukraine’s Khmelnitsky nuclear power plant has been shut down due after missile strikes delivered by Russian forces on Ukraine’s territory, the International Atomic Energy Agency said on Friday.

"Today, the Ukrainian regulator also informed the IAEA that two of the three operating Ukrainian nuclear power plants (NPPs) - Rovno and South Ukraine - had reduced power output as a precautionary measure due to renewed shelling of the country’s energy infrastructure. The instability in the electrical grid from the shelling also caused one of the Khmelnitsky reactor units to shut down," it said in a press statement posted on its website. "These developments were confirmed by the IAEA Support and Assistance Missions that are onsite at the plants, who also confirmed that all nuclear safety systems at Khmelnitsky worked as expected".
