A drone attacked Ukraine’s Chernobyl nuclear plant

The Russians attacked a unique structure that protects the whole world from radiation.

Today, February 14, 2025, the Russian military attacked the Shelter (Sarcophagus) at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant using an attack drone with a high-explosive warhead.

The shelter at ChNPP was damaged by a Russian attack drone. The fire was extinguished.

At present, the radiation background has not increased, and experts are constantly monitoring it.

According to the first estimates of rescuers and experts, the damage to the Chernobyl shelter is substantial.

This structure, which has no analogs in the world, was built to isolate the destroyed Unit 4 after the 1986 disaster and prevent the spread of radiation.

The Shelter was erected in a record time of 206 days. Its construction was a feat given the deadly levels of radiation.

In 2016, the New Safe Confinement, a giant steel structure, was erected over the old sarcophagus, ensuring safety for the next 100 years.

The Chernobyl shelter is not just a structure, but a symbol of international cooperation.

Its construction and modernization were supported by many countries, including the United States, which allocated about $400 million for the safety of the facility.

By the way, the Sarcophagus was completed during Donald Trump’s first cadence in the White House.

The attack on the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is not only a threat to Ukraine, but also a challenge to global security.

The world community must give a tough response to such actions to prevent possible catastrophic consequences.
