Chernobyl reactor shield hit by Russian drone, Ukraine says | BBC News

A Russian drone attack has hit the radiation shelter over the damaged reactor at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said. The overnight strike hit the shelter of the plant's destroyed former fourth power unit, causing a fire that has since been extinguished, he added. Russia has not yet commented. Zelensky will meet US Vice-President JD Vance for talks in Munich later, with the war expected to dominate a meeting of world leaders. It comes after US President Donald Trump's surprise announcement that he and Putin had agreed in a phone call to begin talks to end the war.
