A team of inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) arrived at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine on Thursday, Ukrainian state nuclear firm Energoatom said on Telegram.

The UN agency's head, Rafael Grossi, visited the site for several hours with his 14-strong team and said experts would maintain a continued presence at the facility.

"We are not going anywhere. The IAEA is now there, it is at the plant and it is not moving — it's going to stay there," Grossi told reporters. Ukraine's state nuclear company Energoatom said Grossi had left the plant on Thursday afternoon and that five of his colleagues remained behind, likely until September 3.

Meanwhile, both Russia and Ukraine have reported intensifying fighting around the site, with each side blaming the other for initiating the violence.
