Claim 1: “The IAEA experts are inspecting the damage caused by a Ukrainian drone to Power Unit 6 of the ZNPP on May 30”
DISPUTED
While multiple sources (TASS, IAEA reports via news) state that a drone struck the turbine hall of Power Unit 6 on May 30, other sources explicitly state that Ukraine refutes/denies these claims, creating a direct contradiction between the Russian-controlled plant's reports and the Ukrainian government's position.
