Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Friday that a Russian drone with a high-explosive warhead hit the shell of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the Kyiv region during the night.
However, the radiation levels have not increased, Zelenskyy and the U.N. atomic agency said.
“Last night, a Russian attack drone with a high-explosive warhead struck the shelter protecting the world from radiation at the destroyed 4th power unit of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant,” Zelenskyy said in a post on X.
Zelenskyy shared a video from the alleged drone attack and said that the strike damaged the structure of the power plant and started a fire, which had been put out.
“The shelter at the Chornobyl NPP was damaged by this drone. The fire has been extinguished. As of now, radiation levels have not increased and are being constantly monitored. According to initial assessments, the damage to the shelter is significant,” he said.
