Moscow strongly condemns Kiev's plans to use terrorist methods against Russian nuclear power plants, which could lead to a nuclear catastrophe in Europe, said Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, commenting on the drone crash in Kurchatov, a few kilometers from the Kursk nuclear power plant.
On Friday, the governor of the Kursk region, Roman Starovoit, reported the fall of a drone in Kurchatov, on the territory of which the Kursk nuclear power plant is located. According to him, there were no casualties, critical facilities were not damaged.
"We strongly condemn Ukraine's malicious plans to actively use terrorist methods against Russian nuclear power plants, which could lead to a large-scale nuclear catastrophe in Europe," Zakharova said.
As Zakharova pointed out, the Kursk NPP was the likely target of the new Ukrainian attack in Kurchatov, "which once again indicates that the Kiev regime has embarked on the path of using nuclear terrorism methods."
"We call on the international community and the leadership of the IAEA and the UN to pay the closest attention to this and subject to harsh condemnation the irresponsible behavior of Kiev," she stressed.
