A projectile from a US-Israeli attack hit near the Bushehr nuclear power plant in southern Iran on Saturday, killing one person, state media reported.
“Following the US-Zionist criminal attacks, this Saturday morning, around 8:30 am, a projectile hit the area near the Bushehr nuclear power plant in the southwest,” said the official IRNA news agency.
It added that one of the building’s guards was killed but noted that there was no damage to the plant’s facilities.
The International Atomic Energy Agency on Saturday said that it has been informed by Iran about a projectile striking close to the premises of the plant.
The IAEA said in an X post that one of the site’s physical protection staff members was killed by a projectile fragment and that a building on site was affected by shockwaves and fragments.
“No increase in radiation levels was reported,” the IAEA said.
Iran’s Tasnim news agency said earlier on Saturday the incident did not damage the main parts of the plant and that production was unaffected.
