Chernobyl Shield Hit by Russian Drone, Radiation Normal: Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Friday that a Russian drone armed with a warhead had struck the sarcophagus protecting the shell of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

The incident came after President Donald Trump said on Feb. 12 that he would meet with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin to discuss ending the war in Ukraine, which began when Moscow invaded in Feb. 2022.
