      The head of "Rosatom" reported on a Ukrainian drone attack on the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant

      The attack occurred on Saturday afternoon and was the first recorded attempt to deliberately damage the main equipment of the plant. The head of "Rosatom," Alexey Likhachev, reported on the attack by a Ukrainian kamikaze drone on the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, as reported by Interfax. The attack occurred on Saturday afternoon and was the first recorded attempt to deliberately damage the main equipment of the plant. According to the head of the nuclear corporation, the drone struck the machine hall building of the sixth power unit, after which a detonation occurred. As a result of the explosion, the main equipment remained undamaged; however, a hole was formed in the wall of the machine hall. The drone was controlled via a fiber optic cable, which rules out the possibility of accidental impact. Such control systems allow bypassing electronic warfare measures. — The Ukrainian armed forces repeatedly cross not just red lines but the boundaries of common sense. What to expect next — strikes directly on the turbine? The reactor hall? The reactor and safety systems? — added the head of "Rosatom."
