A recent drone strike claimed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has targeted the radiation shelter above the destroyed reactor at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. The assault occurred overnight, leading to a fire that was effectively brought under control, according to Zelensky's statement. Fortunately, radiation levels at the site have not registered an increase following the incident, as confirmed by Ukraine's leader.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported that fire safety teams reacted promptly after the explosion, ensuring that no one was harmed during the attack. This latest development adds another layer to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, raising apprehensions about potential risks to nuclear safety in the region. As tensions continue, both local authorities and international agencies remain vigilant in monitoring the situation.
