Zaporizhzhia NPP: Russia Alleges Ukrainian Drone Strikes on Critical Facilities
Russian sources, including Rosatom and the Foreign Ministry, claim multiple Ukrainian drone strikes on the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) and adjacent thermal plant facilities, including a laboratory, radioactive waste facility, and power supply infrastructure. These claims, largely unverified by independent sources, suggest a significant escalation in targeting critical nuclear infrastructure, though Russia asserts no immediate threat to nuclear safety. The operational impact and extent of damage remain unclear.
