Russia overnight attacked targets across Ukraine with 241 drones and five missiles, striking energy infrastructure and killing two civilians, according to Ukraine's air force and government officials.
Despite the finding, the authorities have been unable to fix the damage from a drone that punctured Reactor No. 4’s outermost protective shield in February.
Ukraine said in February a Russian drone had struck the protective shelter housing the nuclear reactor at Chernobyl, the site of the world's worst nuclear disaster in 1986. A fire at the site was quickly extinguished, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said at the time. Russia denied targeting the site.
After a number of drone sightings near European airports and military bases, mysterious aircraft were seen over Ireland as Ukraine's Zelenskyy visited.
