Russian drone strikes Chornobyl spent nuclear fuel storage building
A Russian Shahed drone substantially damaged the reception building of a spent nuclear fuel storage facility near the disused Chornobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine. The building was reportedly empty of containers at the time, but the attack on a sensitive nuclear site raises significant concerns for nuclear liability and political violence/war risk exposures. This occurs amid intensifying long-range aerial strikes between Russia and Ukraine.
