Ukraine’s nuclear ghosts have been stirred up again after a drone armed with a warhead hit the protective outer shell of the plant at Chernobyl, the site of the world’s worst nuclear accident. The strike on Friday did not breach the plant’s inner containment shell and radiation levels did not increase.

A drone armed with a warhead hit the protective outer shell of Ukraine's Chernobyl nuclear plant early Friday, punching a hole in the structure and briefly starting a fire, in an attack Kyiv blamed on Russia.

A Russian drone struck the former nuclear power plant at Chernobyl in an attack overnight into Friday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said.

For the first time, a Russian projectile directly struck a structure containing a nuclear reactor. Moscow has increasingly been targeting Ukraine's nuclear infrastructure.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Kremlin on Friday dismissed as a "provocation" accusations by Ukraine that a Russian drone had damaged the containment shelter at the Chornobyl nuclear power plant overnight.

Adi Roche of Chernobyl Children International is calling for Chernobyl and all Nuclear Power Plants to be declared ‘No War Zones.'
