Radiation levels at the shuttered plant in the Kyiv region — site of the world's worst nuclear accident — have not increased, according to the U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency, which said the strike did not breach the plant's inner containment shell.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said a Russian drone struck the protective covering of the nuclear reactor that exploded at Chernobyl in 1986.

Ukraine accused Russia of hitting the Chernobyl nuclear power plant with a drone strike. This comes just days after a phone call between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin to discuss a possible end to the war.
