☢️ A drone struck the cooling tower of an operating power unit at the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant

On the morning of September 17, a drone struck the cooling tower of a power unit at the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant. The power unit was in operation at the time of the impact. Its operating status did not change afterward, and no fire broke out. According to Rosatom, the drone detonated upon impact with the cooling tower of Unit No. 1 of the Kursk-2 Nuclear Power Plant. The damage was classified as minor. The unit continues to operate at full capacity, and radiation levels are within the range of natural background values.

Following the incident, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi once again stated that attacks on nuclear facilities—regardless of their location—were unacceptable, as they endangered nuclear safety. He called for “maximum military restraint.” At the same time, the IAEA once again did not identify the side that had launched the drone.
