Ukraine reported that Russian forces struck a nuclear fuel storage facility near the decommissioned Chernobyl power plant north of Kyiv. The incident prompted a strong response from the United Nations' nuclear watchdog.

International Atomic Energy Agency
1. The strike caused significant damage to the facility's fuel reception building – including to the facade, windows and doors – and nearby buildings were also affected by the blast wave.

Ukraine Foreign Ministry
1. Russia's nuclear blackmail and ⁠threats ⁠to nuclear safety are systemic, deliberate, and unacceptable.
2. This is not the first time Russian forces are putting Ukrainian nuclear facilities at risk. Russia's nuclear blackmail and threats to nuclear safety are systemic, deliberate, and unacceptable.
Volodymyr Zelenskiy
Ukraine Government
1. Today, the Russians again struck the special territory around the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. A 'shahed' hit one of the buildings of the Centralized Spent Fuel Storage Facility. An extremely critical infrastructure facility – and an extremely vile Russian strike.
2. As of now, there is no heightening of radiation safety limits. But there is clearly a heightening of Russia's already sky-high arrogance.
3. Russia deliberately struck this particular nuclear infrastructure facility. As of now, there are no readings exceeding normal background radiation levels. But there is certainly an increase in Russia's brazenness, which long ago went off the charts.
Energoatom
1. The strike on a nuclear infrastructure facility has once again shown the world the true face of the Kremlin regime, which deliberately poses threats to nuclear and radiation safety.
