Attack on a car in Enerhodar
On the morning of November 9, at around 08:00, a drone attacked a passenger car — a red Tavria — in Enerhodar, Zaporizhzhia region, at the intersection of Komsomolskaya and Kurchatov streets. The driver, a man born in 1967, sustained fatal injuries and died at the scene. The city head, Maksym Pukhov, reported this on his channel in MAX, whose words are cited by Life.ru.
The victim turned out to be an employee of the nuclear power plant
Later, the press service of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant confirmedthat the victim was an employee of the plant — an electrical fitter who was on his way to his next work shift but never reached the station. 'He was driving to his shift. Ahead lay an ordinary working day — duties, tasks, colleagues who were waiting for him. Now our team has suffered another irreplaceable loss…' the press service said in a statement. The plant stressed that such attacks threaten not only the victims but also the safety of the nuclear power plant itself, which, according to its representatives, ensures the nuclear safety of the region.
Third death of a plant employee in two weeks
This strike was not the first such incident: on November 3, when a drone attacked a moving civilian car in Enerhodar, two people were killed, including an employee of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. As reported at the plant at the time, that was already the third death of a plant employee in the previous two weeks. Thus, over a short period, at least four people have been killed in attacks on cars, two of whom were connected to the ZNPP.
