The International Atomic Energy Agency, the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog, is heading to Ukraine to inspect the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant after it was knocked offline last week by a fire on the transmission line caused by shelling.

The news: The IAEA will assess damage to the plant and ensure that it is safe to keep operating, Reuters reported.

Looking back: On Thursday, officials said the plant was knocked offline for the first time due to a fire caused by shelling, which damaged the transmission line. The plant was offline for under a day and was reconnected to the power grid on Friday.
