This is stated in the statement of the IAEA, Censor.NET informs.

"Two of the three operating Ukrainian nuclear power plants - Rivne and South Ukrainian - as a precautionary measure reduced the output of electricity due to strikes on the energy infrastructure. Due to the instability of the power grid, as a result of the shelling, one of the units of the Khmelnytsky reactor also stopped," the IAEA said.
