The Ukrainian Armed Forces attempted to attack the Kursk NPP, but the French air bomb was shot down by air defense forces.
"The Kursk NPP was attacked by the Ukrainian Armed Forces with the help of NATO weapons," writes the Mash telegram channel, while publishing pictures of the fall of bomb fragments in the city of nuclear workers Kurchatov.
"According to our information, the air defense system worked on a French aerial bomb at 16.20, it fell five kilometers from the station. Now there is a fire there," the telegram channel writes, adding that the NPP itself and its infrastructure were not damaged.
This summer, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are actively shelling and hitting satellite cities and facilities of the Kursk and Zaporozhye nuclear power plants with drones. In August and September, the head of the IAEA, Rafael Grossi, visited the stations to familiarize himself with the consequences.
The IAEA is requesting additional data, but we need to go further and we should not be afraid to say where it comes from, said the head of Rosatom, Alexei Likhachev.
"One can only imagine what will happen in Europe if Russia starts responding in a mirror way to the shelling of the Kursk and Zaporozhye nuclear power plants," Russian President Vladimir Putin said at the Eastern Economic Forum in September.
