IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi reacted to the incident, urging 'restraint to support nuclear safety and avoid accidents with serious radiological consequences.'

Moreover, Grossi again did not name Russia as the aggressor and culprit of the attack on critical infrastructure that directly threatens nuclear safety.
