Fact-check: X searches returned no recent posts on the incident or IAEA-Rosatom meeting, indicating limited real-time discussion. Web reports, including Reuters and Ukrainian outlets citing IAEA, confirm drone-linked explosions and gunfire at ZNPP's training center on June 5, 2025, supporting the occurrence of attacks, but attribution to 'Ukrainian forces' and the 'pressure tool' motive come solely from Russian sources like TASS without independent corroboration. The scheduled meeting between IAEA and Rosatom chiefs lacks confirmation.

ZNPP officials characterized the attacks as a deliberate pressure tool designed to influence the upcoming high-level nuclear safety talks. The incident raises serious concerns about the security of Europe's largest nuclear power plant amid ongoing conflict.
