Russian officials said on Friday debris from a Ukrainian drone hit a nuclear power plant a day earlier, temporarily causing the station to reduce its output.
“Approximately eight drones were directed - there is no doubt about this - toward the Novovoronezh nuclear power plant,” Alexey Likhachev, the head of Russia’s Rosatom nuclear agency, told a press conference.
“All of them were neutralized and shot down. However, debris fell and damaged the main switchgear.” [AFP]
