On the eve of Ukraine’s 34th anniversary of independence, Russia claims a Ukrainian drone assault ignited a nuclear power plant in the western Kursk area overnight.
According to Russian sources, the midnight strikes targeted a number of energy and electrical infrastructure. According to the plant’s news service on Telegram, the nuclear facility’s fire was swiftly put out and no injuries were reported. Radiation levels were within normal limits, despite the fact that the attack destroyed a transformer.
Although it had not obtained independent confirmation, the UN nuclear inspector acknowledged media claims that a transformer at the reactors had caught fire “due to military activity.” It said that Rafael Mariano Grossi, its director-general, stated that “every nuclear facility must be protected at all times.
In honor of Ukraine’s 1991 declaration of independence from the Soviet Union, the incidents took place on Independence Day. In a video address from Independence Square in Kyiv, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized the nation’s commitment.
Zelenskyy called for a “just peace” and stated, “We are building a Ukraine that will have enough strength and power to live in security and peace.
