In a significant escalation, a Russian drone hit the protective shell of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, causing damage but no increase in radiation levels, as confirmed by the IAEA. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy blamed Russia, asserting the strike was a 'clear greeting' from Putin amid rising diplomatic tensions at the Munich Security Conference. The Kremlin denied responsibility, labeling the incident as a provocation by Ukraine, while stressing the security risks posed by military activities near nuclear sites. The attack highlights fears of a potential nuclear catastrophe, particularly recalling the 1986 disaster's impact.
