A Russian drone strike has damaged a building associated with the storage of spent nuclear fuel at the Chornobyl nuclear site in northern Ukraine, according to Ukrainian authorities. Officials said the attack hit infrastructure within the exclusion zone, raising concerns about the safety of the area that remains sensitive decades after the 1986 nuclear disaster. Emergency teams responded to assess the damage, while monitoring systems reported no increase in radiation levels following the incident. Ukraine condemned the strike as a threat to nuclear security, while international observers continue to monitor developments around the Chornobyl facility and its surrounding infrastructure.
