Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Friday that a Russian drone struck the cover built to contain radiation at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

Zelensky said “radiation levels have not increased.”

Zelenskyy said the strike damaged the structure and started a fire, which has been put out. The Ukrainian Emergency Service provided a photograph it said showed a searchlight illuminating a ragged hole in the roof of the damaged sarcophagus.
