BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

A Ukrainian sabotage group was plotting a terrorist attack at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant during the visit of the IAEA expert mission to show that Russia is unable to provide security, Vladimir Rogov, a member of the main council of the regional administration, told Sputnik on Wednesday.

"According to preliminary data, the terrorist attack was being prepared during the visit of the IAEA delegation to show the situation is not under control and that Russia could not provide security," Rogov said.

A Ukrainian sabotage group, which was plotting a terrorist attack at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, has been detained in Enerhodar, Vladimir Rogov, a member of the main council of the Zaporozhye region military-civil administration, said on Wednesday.

"A group of Ukrainian saboteurs who were preparing a terrorist attack at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant was detained," Rogov told Sputnik.

UN atomic watchdog team to visit Zaporozhye NPP: Chief

The UN atomic watchdog's director said an inspection team from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is heading on Wednesday to the Russian Zaporozhye nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine.

"We are now finally moving after six months of... efforts. The IAEA is moving into the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant," IAEA chief Rafael Grossi told reporters in Kiev before setting off.

The Reuters news agency reported citing its witness at the scene that an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) car convoy set off from the Ukrainian capital Kiev toward Zaporozhye NPP.

A trip by an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) delegation to Zaporozhye nuclear power plant (NPP) through Kiev and then across the contact line will be very dangerous, asserted Igor Vishnevetsky, the Deputy Director of the Department for Non-Proliferation and Arms Control at the Russian Foreign Ministry on August 23.

Commenting on statements made in Kiev that the purpose of the inspectors' visit is the demilitarization of the NPP, Vishnevetsky argued, "The IAEA is not engaged in demilitarization and security. It has a clear mandate, which is the implementation of IAEA guarantees," adding, "This is just an irresponsible statement."
