Chernobyls Protective Shield Compromised: UN Confirms Severe Damage from Drone StrikeThe Chernobyl nuclear power plants protective shield, built in 2019, has been severely damaged, according to a recent report from a nuclear watchdog agency. The shield, designed to contain radioactive releases from the reactor destroyed in the 1986 disaster, was compromised following a drone strike in February. The United Nations International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed the damage, which has rendered the shield ineffective in confining potential radioactive materials. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy attributed the attack to Russia, though Moscow denied involvement. Despite the damage, radiation levels remained normal. Temporary repairs are planned for 2026, highlighting the ongoing challenges and risks associated with the Chernobyl site.
