Russia Strikes Substation Vital to Khmelnytskyi Nuclear Plant

Russia launched a massive wave of 289 drones, 17 ballistic missiles, and 59 cruise missiles at Ukraine's energy infrastructure, including three drones targeting a substation critical to the Khmelnytskyi Nuclear Power Plant. Ukraine's Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal called it a serious escalation threatening European nuclear safety and has alerted the IAEA. This marks a continued pattern of strikes on Ukraine's energy grid, but the direct targeting of a nuclear-adjacent substation raises the stakes for potential radiological incidents.
