The head of the UN’s atomic watchdog agency has condemned a drone strike on one of six nuclear reactors at the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant (ZNPP) in Ukraine, saying such attacks “significantly increase the risk of a major nuclear accident”.
. . .
Russian officials at the plant claimed the site was attacked on Sunday by Ukrainian military drones, including a strike on the dome of the plant’s sixth power unit.
Ukraine’s intelligence agency has denied responsibility for the strike. “Russian strikes, including imitation ones, on the territory of the Ukrainian nuclear power plant … have long been a well known criminal practice of the invaders,” a spokesperson told local media.
Russia is so dangerously sociopathic they’re risking nuclear meltdown, and dumb enough to think the world would believe Ukraine’s responsible.
I’m guessing these actions are a warning that Russia will salt the earth if they can’t have it?
