The International Atomic Energy Agency said on October 2 that Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant is considering further reducing the number of emergency diesel generators kept in automatic standby because diesel reserves remain low. According to Sina Finance, the agency said the plant relied on emergency diesel generators for nearly three weeks in August and September after losing external power for an extended period, which significantly reduced diesel stocks.

The agency said recent efforts to replenish diesel have still been hindered by military activity in the surrounding area. It also said the plant has lost external power 10 times since June and is now dependent on a single 330-kilovolt external transmission line.

International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Grossi said the continued lack of diesel deliveries is worsening the already fragile nuclear safety situation at Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant and called on the relevant parties to ensure fuel reaches the plant as soon as possible.

Reports: Shelling Damages Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant Power Gear, Safety Risk Reopens​

Severity: WARNING
Detected: 2026-10-04T04:16:17.531Z

Summary​

Ukrainian shelling has damaged external power equipment at the Russian‑occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, with operators saying the situation is under control as of 03:24 UTC. Any further degradation of grid connections to Europe’s largest nuclear facility would immediately raise nuclear safety concerns, pressure EU energy planners, and reprice regional power and gas markets.

Summary​

A report states Ukrainian deep strikes have taken 51% of Russia’s oil refining capacity offline. If accurate and sustained, this would sharply tighten Russian product exports, disrupt domestic fuel supply, and add a sizable geopolitical risk premium to global oil and refined product markets.

In brief: Ukrainian strike drones hit the Yug Rusi oil transshipment terminal in Rostov-on-Don early Saturday morning, Oct. 10, igniting a massive blaze across the key fuel logistics facility.
