Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Monitoring: Russia Today reported citing a Telegram post by the facility’s Russian management, "One kamikaze UAV struck near the power plant’s canteen, damaging a nearby truck. Another drone exploded in the vicinity of the cargo port".
The attack on the plant’s canteen left at least three employees injured, Rosatom said in a separate statement.
“20 minutes before the attack, [International Atomic Energy Agency] experts were conducting an inspection of this territory,” the management said.
The nuclear power station, the largest in Europe, was integrated under Moscow’s control in 2022, early in the Ukraine conflict.
Kyiv has repeatedly claimed that Moscow keeps heavy weaponry on the premises of the power plant. Russia has blamed Ukraine for shelling the facility and risking a major nuclear incident.
