Russian drone hits Chernobyl cover, radiation levels normal
A Russian drone struck the protective cover at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, though he assured that radiation levels remained stable. The attack occurred amidst a larger Russian drone offensive, with over 100 drones launched across Ukraine, targeting northern regions where Chernobyl is located.
Zelensky highlighted the incident as evidence that Vladimir Putin is not seeking negotiations but rather escalating the conflict. The attack took place hours before Zelensky was scheduled to meet with US Vice-President J.D. Vance in Germany, where he intended to advocate for continued support for Ukraine amidst growing calls for a swift resolution to the nearly three-year war. CCTV footage confirmed the strike, showing an explosion near the Chernobyl structure.
