Ukrainian Drone Targets ZNPP Spent Nuclear Fuel Storage Facility - Russian Security Forces
MELITOPOL (Sputnik) - Ukrainian militants on Wednesday attempted to attack Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant’s (ZNPP) spent nuclear fuel storage facility with a drone, Russian security forces told Sputnik.
"The analysis of the course of the drone showed that the attack drone was moving towards the spent nuclear fuel storage facility on the territory of the ZNPP. Damage to nuclear fuel containers can cause a nuclear catastrophe and death of people" the security forces said.
Earlier in the day, the Ukrainian drone moving towards ZNPP was intercepted in Energodar.
"Today, an UAV of Ukrainian units, which was heading in the direction of the Zaporozhye NPP, was seen in the sky over Energodar. With the skillful actions of our employees, the device was intercepted and landed. Upon examination, it turned out that this UAV was a strike UAV. The probable target was the territory of the Zaporozhye NPP," the security agencies said.
The Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant was liberated by Russian forces in March 2022. Since that moment on it is persitently shelled by Kiev regime. Moscow has repeatedly stated that such attacks should be considered as
acts of nuclear terrorism.
Ukraine launched its much-touted
counteroffensive in early June after repeatedly delaying the campaign over a lack of military supplies from its Western donors. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky admitted that progress was "slower than desired."
