The International Atomic Energy Agency has said that "following information from Iran of a projectile incident on Tuesday evening, the IAEA can confirm that a structure 350 metres from the Bushehr NPP reactor was hit and destroyed".

The statement, posted on social media channel X on Wednesday at 16:31 GMT, added Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi as saying: "Although there was no damage to the reactor itself nor injuries to staff, any attack at or near nuclear power plants violates the seven indispensable pillars related to ensuring nuclear safety and security during an armed conflict and should never take place."
There are no details from the IAEA about what the projectile was that struck the area of the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant, which is on Iran's Persian Gulf coast, about 480 miles south of Tehran. The plant has one operating unit and two further Russian-designed units under construction."
I wonder who? Silly games.
