On Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy reported a deliberate strike by Russian forces on a spent nuclear fuel storage facility near the Chornobyl power plant. The attack, executed using a Shahed drone, damaged a fuel-reception building close to where significant nuclear materials are stored, although no spent fuel was present at the time. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed it was briefed on the situation and will send a team to inspect the site. Fortunately, the attack did not result in any injuries or radiation spikes, as the fire caused by the strike was promptly extinguished. Zelenskiy condemned the assault as an 'extremely vile' act against critical infrastructure, highlighting the increasing boldness of Russian military actions. This incident follows a pattern of Russian drone strikes targeting Ukrainian cities and infrastructure, including previous attacks on the Chornobyl site itself. Russia has yet to respond publicly to the allegations regarding this latest strike.
