US EditionMoscow says Kyiv has struck a nuclear power plant as Ukraine marks independence day
- On August 24, Ukrainian drone strikes damaged an auxiliary transformer at the Kursk nuclear facility, halving the output of one of its reactors, and sparked a fire at the Ust-Luga fuel export terminal in Russia’s Leningrad region.
- These strikes followed ongoing Russian assaults on Ukraine and aimed to degrade Moscow's military infrastructure through retaliatory measures Kyiv described.
- The attack damaged a transformer at the Kursk plant, reducing Unit 3's capacity by half, while about ten drones were intercepted over Ust-Luga causing debris to ignite a fire there.
- No injuries occurred, fires at the nuclear and fuel facilities were promptly controlled, and radiation readings at the site and surrounding areas did not exceed safe limits, despite the governor describing the strikes as threats to nuclear safety.
- These incidents raise nuclear safety concerns amid a protracted war, prompting continued defense aid to Ukraine and international warnings to protect all nuclear facilities at all times.
