Russia evacuates 198 workers from Iran nuclear plant amid strike

Russia started a planned evacuation of 198 workers from Iran's Bushehr atomic plant shortly after a U.S.-Israeli projectile hit near the facility, Russian state media said on Saturday.

"As planned, we began the main phase of the evacuation today. About 20 minutes after that ill-fated strike, buses set off from Bushehr station towards the Iranian-Armenian border. 198 people, to be precise -- this is the largest evacuation," Russia's nuclear agency Rosatom head Alexey Likhachev was quoted as saying by TASS news agency.
