Ukraine has raised the alarm after drone strikes disrupted power at the decommissioned Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, prompting warnings of a wider nuclear safety crisis. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and international watchdogs say the incidents highlight the vulnerability of nuclear sites in wartime and pose risks that extend beyond Ukraine's borders.
Officials confirmed that Chernobyl lost external power for several hours following the latest attack. While radiation levels have remained stable, Kyiv insists that any disruption to cooling or monitoring systems amounts to what Zelenskyy has called a 'global threat'.
