Suicide drones launched by Kiev forces struck the cargo port and the canteen of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), the management of the plant reported on April 7.

“Today a kamikaze drone hit the area of the canteen located on the territory of the Zaporizhzhia NPP. A truck unloading food was damaged,” the management said in a statement posted on the official Telegram channel of the plant.

It added that just twenty minutes before the drone attack, experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) visited the canteen. Another suicide drone hit the cargo port at around the same time.

“The shelling of the Zaporizhzhia NPP and its infrastructure is unacceptable,” the management said, pointing out that “so nuclear power plant in the world is designed to withstand full-scale fire from the armed forces. Damage to infrastructure facilities is capable of affecting the safe operation of the NPP.”

No employees of the Zaporizhzhia NPP or IAEA experts were harmed in the Ukrainian drone attacks, according to the management

Yevgeniya Yashina, the NPP communications director, told TASS that there was no threat to the plant’s safety and that the radiation background is normal.

“There is no threat to the safety of the plant. Neither the plant’s employees nor the IAEA experts were harmed. The radiation background at the plant and the adjacent territory has not changed and is at the level corresponding to the normal operation of the power units and does not exceed the natural background values,” she said.

The Russian military took control of the Zaporizhzhia NPP in the very first days of the special military operation in Ukraine, which began in 2022.

After Zaporizhzhia voted in favor of becoming a Russian region in September of that year, the ownership of the NPP passed to Rosatom.

Kiev forces have been launching regular attacks against the nuclear facility, mainly using Western-made weapons like precision-guided missiles and suicide drones, for the last two years.

In addition, the Kiev regime also attempted to seize the plant more than once. The most notable attempt was during the failed 2023 spring counteroffensive. A Ukrainian plot to blow up the facility was also reported by Russian authorities at the time.

The repeated Ukrainian attacks on the Zaporizhzhia NPP can only be described as nuclear blackmail. Kiev believes that it could force Russia to make concessions by threatening to cause a nuclear disaster at the plant. Its allies appear to be supportive of this dangerous plan.
