Background:
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that a Russian loitering munition carrying a high-explosive incendiary warhead hit the shelter of the 4th reactor at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant on the night of 13-14 February. Early assessments indicate that the damage to the sarcophagus is substantial, the president said.
- The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed an explosion at the CNPP. The drone hit the roof of the new protective shell, which covers the damaged fourth reactor at Chornobyl.
- The State Emergency Service of Ukraine reports that radiation levels remain within normal limits following a Russian drone strike on the shelter of Unit No 4 at the CNPP.
- Ukraine’s Energy Ministry urged the IAEA to take immediate action to prevent enemy strikes on nuclear facilities.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated at the Munich Security Conference that the Russian drone, which struck the shelter above Unit No 4 at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant, flew at an altitude undetectable by radar. This suggests the strike was intentionally aimed at the shelter.
