Drone attacks Chernobyl nuclear reactor in Ukraine
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is blaming Russia for a drone attack on the Chernobyl nuclear reactor. The The U.N.’s International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed that there had been an attack on Friday, but that only an outer wall of the protective dome that shields Chernobyl was damaged, according to VOA News.
Russia is denying the attack, saying it doesn’t attack nuclear structures. Russia claimed that Zelenskyy’s accusation was nothing more than, “a provocation.”
