The head of Russia’s state nuclear corporation (Rosatom), Alexei Likhachev, says more workers are being evacuated from Iran’s Russian-built nuclear plant in Bushehr following another attack on its territory.
Likhachev said last week that Rosatom had 480 workers at the plant in Bushehr. He announced that another group left on Wednesday and more will be removed later this week.
He stated that Rosatom will reduce the number of workers to a minimum until the situation normalizes.

Likhachev reported on Tuesday night another attack on the territory of the plant, close to the working nuclear reactor, following an attack last week.
He said there were no injuries, but noted that the situation was developing according to a “negative scenario”.
