Quote from Yevtushenko: "On the opposite bank [of the Dnipro River], the Russian army is shelling Enerhodar. The purpose of this action is to create a suitable picture for the IAEA commission and to form a pool of local residents who, under the media’s cameras, inform the commission about the attack on the city from our side of the reservoir."
Details: Dmytro Orlov, Mayor of Enerhodar, published a photo of the town council building with broken windows and a damaged facade, but did not specify what exactly had happened.
Local Telegram channels report that the administrative building was hit by a drone.
Background: On 31 August, the IAEA mission departed from Kyiv to Zaporizhzhia NPP; the officials’assignment is to assess the situation and shape a permanent mission to the power plant. Occupation authorities have stated that they would give them one day to get the job done.
