The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has sounded the alarm, cautioning of the heightened risk of a "major nuclear accident" following a recent drone attack on the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (NPP). The attack, which occurred last night, has stirred tensions as Russia accuses Ukraine of orchestrating the assault, while Kyiv vehemently denies any involvement.

Türkiye is keen to expand its cooperation with Russian nuclear company Rosatom in the Sinop Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) project, Energy Minister Alparslan Bayraktar has said.

Counterterrorism police in Turkey have arrested an Islamic State group suspect who was working at a nuclear power plant being built in the country's south, local media reported Tuesday.

The Russian national had been working at the Akkuyu nuclear facility under false identity papers, the Ihlas News Agency and other media reported.

Challenges and threats in the field of digital security of the Russian Federation have increased dramatically since the beginning of the special operation, Medvedev said.
"A real war has been launched against Russia in cyber space, the sanctions pressure of hostile countries is constantly increasing," said the Deputy President of the Security Council.

The Akkuyu nuclear power plant that is being built in the southern province of Mersin, is giving a strong boost to the local economy, according to experts and a local business leader.

Since the start of the construction work, more than 500 new businesses have been registered with the Silifke Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said Nurettin Kaynak, its president.

That latter project, thrown into some disarray by the war in Ukraine, epitomises this longstanding dependency.

More than 150 primary school students have paid a visit to the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant in the southern province of Mersin, as the officials have shared information about nuclear energy with the children during the field trip to the plant over several sessions.

Day 456 of the invasion of Ukraine. Summary of key events in the last 24 hours:

Türkiye has upgraded to the league of nuclear power countries with the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on April 27.

"Our country has been promoted to the league of nuclear power countries after a 60-year delay," Erdoğan said, addressing the Akkuyu NPP First Nuclear Fuel Delivery Ceremony.

"If we differ on the most existential of issues, it will be hard to cooperate on other fronts," summarises Andrzej Sadecki, head of the Central Europe team and a Hungary specialist at OSW, the Warsaw-based Center for Eastern Studies.
