On June 7, a Russian drone struck a storage facility for spent nuclear fuel near the disused Chornobyl power plant in Ukraine. Ukrainian officials reported that the attack resulted in partial destruction of a container-receiving building, but confirmed that no spent fuel was stored there at the time. Fortunately, radiation levels at the site remained stable, and the fire caused by the strike was extinguished without any injuries reported. The incident has raised alarms among Ukrainian officials, with Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha condemning Russia's actions as part of a systematic threat to nuclear safety. He emphasized that such acts of nuclear blackmail are unacceptable. This attack is not an isolated incident; it follows a previous drone strike in February 2025 that damaged the containment arch of the Chornobyl reactor, which was the site of the world's worst nuclear disaster in 1986. The ongoing conflict has also seen both Kyiv and Moscow accusing each other of targeting nuclear facilities, including the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, the largest in Europe.
