A new nuclear safety scare emerged on Sunday in Ukraine after President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russian forces of carrying out a deliberate strike near the Chornobyl nuclear site. According to Ukrainian authorities, the attack damaged a fuel-reception building at a facility linked to the storage of spent nuclear fuel, located roughly 15 kilometers from the Chornobyl nuclear power plant. Zelensky described the incident as an "extremely vile" attack and called for stronger international action against Russia. Ukraine's state nuclear operator Energoatom said no spent nuclear fuel was being stored inside the damaged building at the time of the strike, and no injuries were reported. Authorities also stated that radiation monitoring systems detected no increase in radiation levels following the attack. The International Atomic Energy Agency has been briefed on the incident and said its experts will inspect the site. #Ukraine #Russia #Chornobyl #Chernobyl #Zelensky #NuclearSafety #IAEA #RussiaUkraineWar
