Russian investigators have detected an attempt at nuclear terrorism by the Kiev regime after the AFU attacked the Kursk nuclear power plant, the press service of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation said.
“The Kiev regime has also recorded the fact that it attempted to commit nuclear terrorism by attacking the territory of the Kursk nuclear power plant, which caused damage to the spent nuclear fuel storage facility. Those involved are being identified,” the agency said.
The Investigative Committee is identifying those involved in the crime.
In late October 2023, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said that the AFU had attacked the Kursk nuclear power plant with three UAVs, one of which, packed with explosives, crashed into a nuclear waste storage facility, damaging the walls. The other two fell on the plant’s administrative building complex.
Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, head of the Russian Armed Forces’ radiation, chemical and biological defence troops, said in November that one of the priority goals of the AFU invasion of Kursk Oblast was to capture the Kursk nuclear power plant. The Ukrainian command allocated 20,000 troops, 27 tanks, 50 armoured vehicles, 30 barrel artillery and five MLRS for the operation to seize the nuclear power plant, but failed.
