A fire has been put out at a nuclear power plant in Russia’s western Kursk region and air defences have shot down a Ukrainian drone, Russian officials have said.
The drone detonated when it fell and damaged a transformer, but radiation levels were normal and there were no casualties, a post from the plant’s account on messaging app Telegram said.
It comes as Ukraine is celebrating its independence day on Sunday, which marks the country’s declaration of independence from the Soviet Union in 1991.
Ukraine has not commented on the Russian accusation regarding the nuclear site in Kursk.
