It marks at least the fourth time that the nuclear power plant has been targeted throughout Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Ukrainian forces attempted to attack a Russian nuclear plant in the border region of Kursk with at least five kamikaze drones and one S-200 missile, according to local media reports.The drones and missile which targeted the Kurchatov Nuclear Power Plant were shot down by Russian air defense systems, but the falling debris damaged a substation which provides power to at least seven streets in the Kursk region, Russian Telegram channel Mash reported on Wednesday.
Andriy Yusov, a spokesperson for Ukraine's Defense Intelligence, said during a Ukrainian television appearance last week that the 'Kursk and Belgorod regions are now an area of active combat actions.''And as stated by the volunteers and rebels, we are talking about Russian citizens who, having no other options, are defending their civil right with arms against the Putin regime,' Yusov added.
