VIDEO| Russia Strikes Chernobyl? Ukraine Blames Moscow for Drone Attack on Nuclear Shelter

Russia Strikes Chernobyl as per Claims by Zelensky.Ukraine has accused Russia of launching a drone strike on the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, claiming the attack damaged the protective shelter over Reactor 4—the site of the infamous 1986 disaster. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky shared dramatic footage of the explosion, warning that Moscow is “not preparing for negotiations but for continued deception.” However, the Kremlin has dismissed the claims as a “provocation,” stating that Russia does not target Ukraine’s nuclear infrastructure. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed that its team at Chernobyl heard an explosion and saw a fire break out. Fortunately, radiation levels reportedly remain stable. #RussiaUkraineWar #ChernobylAttack #RussiaDroneStrike #UkraineWar #NuclearPlantAttack #ChernobylExplosion #Zelensky #RussiaVsUkraine #UkraineUnderAttack #DroneWarfare #MunichSecurityConference #Putin #UkraineCrisis #RussiaStrikesBack #WarFootage #RussiaStrikesChernobyl Also Read India Not Neutral: PM Modi On Russia-Ukraine War At White House :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-not-neutral-pm-modi-on-russia-ukraine-war-at-white-house-4070839.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Threatens Putin With Sanctions, Tariffs On Russia If Ukraine War Doesn't Come To An End :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-threatens-putin-with-sanctions-tariffs-on-russia-if-ukraine-war-doesnt-come-to-an-end-4050181.html?ref=DMDesc Kerala: 3 Arrested In Thrissur For Illegally Recruiting Youth In Russian Army :: https://www.oneindia.com/thiruvananthapuram/kerala-3-arrested-in-thrissur-for-illegally-recruiting-youth-in-russian-army-4046909.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~GR.344~PR.152~ED.194~
