A Russian drone struck the containment shell protecting the radioactive reactor at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, causing significant damage, Ukraine claimed Friday morning.

The protective covering that was placed around Reactor 4 in 2016 sustained a large hole from the unmanned aircraft.

“Last night, a Russian attack drone with a high-explosive warhead struck the shelter protecting the world from radiation at the destroyed 4th power unit of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant,” Ukraine President Volodomyr Zelensky said Friday.

“This is a terrorist attack for the entire world,” he added.

The Chernobyl plant is the site of the world’s first level 7 nuclear energy accidents, when Reactor 4 suffered a power surge resulting in steam explosions and a meltdown on April 26, 1986.
