The UAV caused a small fire at the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant on Sunday
A Ukrainian kamikaze drone has been shot down near a power plant in Russia’s Kursk region, part of which had been under Ukrainian occupation for several months.
According to the plant’s management, in the early hours of Sunday the downed UAV damaged part of the electrical grid and triggered a small fire.
In August 2024, Ukrainian forces crossed into Russia’s internationally recognized territory, advancing into the Kursk region in an effort to disrupt Russian offensives elsewhere and strengthen their position in peace talks. They quickly seized dozens of villages along with the border town of Sudzha, located about 60 kilometers (37 miles) west of the plant. Russian troops fully regained control of the region by late April.
