The Telegraph: Russia accused Ukraine of flying military drones into Europe’s biggest nuclear plant in central Ukraine.
The attack, which took place as Ukraine also destroyed six Russian planes at an airbase inside Russia, caused no damage to its critical infrastructure, the management of the Russian-occupied facility has claimed.
The Telegraph could not independently verify the alleged incident. Both Russia and Ukraine have repeatedly accused each other of shelling the power plant.
“Russia warns Kyiv against any attempts to attack or destabilise the situation at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant,” Maria Zakharova, a Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman, said.
The alleged series of strikes come after Ukraine launched over 50 drones into Russian territory overnight, the majority targeting an airbase in the Rostov region, in one of Kyiv’s biggest air attacks of the war.
