The Chernobyl nuclear plant's protective shield has been damaged by a drone strike attributed to Russia. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) conducted an inspection and found the structure had lost its primary safety functions, including confinement capability. Repairs have been carried out, but comprehensive restoration is needed to ensure long-term nuclear safety. Radiation levels remain normal, and there were no reports of leaks. The IAEA also conducted a survey of damage to electricity substations across Ukraine.
