The agency has consistently cautioned that military activity in the vicinity of nuclear facilities carries potential risks to nuclear safety and security. Situated in Russia's Kursk region, which shares a border with Ukraine, the Kursk nuclear power plant has repeatedly come under the shadow of fighting during the Russia-Ukraine war. According to a Russian media report, Russian air defence systems intercepted and downed a Ukrainian combat drone near the plant in August 2025.
