Russia has evacuated the remaining personnel at the Bushehr nuclear power plant via Armenia. According to RIA Novosti, Rosatom Director General Alexey Likhachev said the second round of evacuations included 150 people, comprising both plant personnel and their family members.
Likhachev said that the second phase of the evacuation of Russian staff and their families from the Bushehr nuclear power plant in Iran has thus been completed.
“Last night we completed another phase of the evacuation of our staff. A few days ago, 150 people left the Bushehr nuclear power plant and crossed the Armenian border overnight. They are already on their way to our country. This is the second phase of the evacuation,” RIA Novosti quoted Likhachev as saying.
The evacuation comes amid heavy U.S. and Israeli airstrikes targeting various targets across Iran.
