Russian Drone Strikes Nuclear Fuel Storage Facility at Chernobyl, Ukraine Says
A Russian drone attack struck a nuclear fuel storage facility at the disabled Chernobyl nuclear power plant, according to an announcement from Ukrainian state energy operator Energoatom.
The drone hit a concrete structure housing spent nuclear fuel, causing localized damage but failing to breach the reinforced containment cells.
Emergency response teams were deployed to the site, and monitoring stations confirmed that radiation levels in the surrounding exclusion zone remain within normal safety limits.
Ukrainian officials condemned the strike as an act of nuclear terrorism, warning that deliberate targeting of decommissioned nuclear infrastructure risks a catastrophic environmental disaster.
International nuclear watchdogs have been notified of the incident, and Ukraine has called for increased air defense systems to protect the country’s vulnerable nuclear facilities from ongoing drone and missile strikes.
