Explosions have been heard and a fire ignited after an unmanned drone hit the radiation containment shell covering the remains of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine , the International Atomic Energy Agency says.
The IAEA says a fire was ignited by the drone attack on the Chernobyl facility, which was quickly extinguished, and early indications suggest radiation levels have stayed normal. "Ukraine built this shelter together with other countries in Europe and the world, together with America, with everyone who wants real security for people.
Russian officials also released their own statement on Friday, accusing Ukraine of carrying out an artillery attack on a thermal power plant it controls in southern Ukraine, located near the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station.
