A NATO drone operated from Ukraine has targeted a nuclear power station in Russia’s Voronezh Region overnight, Rosenergoatom, a state-run company which operates the country’s nuclear power plants, has said.
The UAV hit a cooling tower of the sixth power-generating unit at the Novovoronezh NPP after being diverted by electronic warfare means, the company said in a statement on Telegram on Tuesday.

There was no damage or injuries as a result of the incident, the statement read. A dark mark was left in the spot where the drone struck the tower.
The attack did not affect the operations of the station, with the radiation level on site remaining unchanged and corresponding to natural levels, Rosenergoatom said.
This is yet another act of aggression by the Ukrainian military against the Russian nuclear power plants. Previously, it had attempted attacks against the main facilities of the Kursk and Smolensk Nuclear Power Plants.

Pentagon tells NATO in Ukraine to use drones instead of US missiles
Speaking at the Valdai forum in Sochi last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that Ukraine was playing a dangerous game by going after Russian nuclear stations.
The government in Kiev should also understand… they still have operating nuclear power plants on their side. So, what is stopping us from responding in kind?
They better think about it, Putin said.

First NATO tells the news sites that Russia targeted Poland with drones, just to promote and justify their evil drone attacks on Russian soil.
The intervention of Russia in Ukraine was meant to protect the Russian speaking minority in Donbass, while NATO uses Ukraine (*read the Kiev junta) to attack the Russian population with missiles and drones ?
Hypocrites doing their job, turning reality into a fake narrative.
Since these Ukrainian clowns are dead set on trying to create a nuclear catastrophe, why don’t Russia just help them?
Set off a small nuclear waterloo in Kiev. A missile with a small nuclear warhead targeting Zelensky’s pals, advisers and collaborators now stationed in Kiev will suffice.
