Energoatom emphasized that this is an absolutely unacceptable violation of nuclear and radiation safety.

"We address the IAEA and the entire global nuclear community, informing about the flight of a combat drone over the nuclear plant site. We ask you once again to prevent nuclear facilities from being exposed to the risk of Russian army attacks posing a threat to the nuclear and radiation safety of Ukraine and the world," the company said.
