Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakarova confirmed yesterday that one of the three drones that Ukraine launched on Oct. 26 against the Kursk nuclear power plant did damage a nuclear waste facility. Previously EIR Daily News had covered while the power plant’s press service as mentioning that the attack from three enemy drones had left all four units operating normally, the news outlet SHOT had been more specific, saying that one drone had fallen “next to a nuclear waste storage and blew up.”
Zakharova stated: “One of the UAVs, loaded with explosives, crashed into a nuclear waste warehouse and damaged its walls.” She added that preliminary reports indicated that “unmanned aerial vehicles used to attack the nuclear power plant had components supplied by Western countries.” She concluded: “We call on all governments to strongly condemn Kiev’s barbaric actions, which are extremely dangerous and can lead to irreparable consequences. Relevant international organizations, environmental NGOs and civil society must also give an appropriate assessment of this act of terrorism.”
Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy, in his nightly video address, cited “radiation and nuclear safety” as the first of the five issues being worked on at the Malta meeting on his “Peace Formula.”
