Kiev's Targeted Drone Strike on Russia's Zaporozhye NPP Marks Escalation Toward Potential Cross-Border Nuclear Incident: RosatomA Ukrainian Armed Forces drone struck the machine hall of power unit No. 6 at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, creating a hole in the wall but leaving main equipment undamaged, Rosatom head Alexey Likhachev said on Saturday.He emphasized this is the first targeted attack on the NPP's main equipment—the drone was controlled via fiber optic cable, which excludes accidental impact."Today we have moved one step closer to an incident that is highly likely to affect even those living far beyond the borders of Russia and Ukraine," Likhachev warned.Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
