In a posting on X, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claimed that a Russian drone struck the radiation shield of the No. 4 reactor at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant on Friday, February 14, 2025. According to Zelenskyy, the drone penetrated the outer layer of the sarcophagus, sparking a fire that has since been extinguished. Radiation levels have not increased and are being constantly monitored, with initial assessments claiming the damage to the shelter is significant. Photo via Ukrainian Presidential Press Office/UPI
