According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), at about 01:50 local time on the 14th, there was an explosion and a fire in the “New Safety Containment” facility at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Ukrainian President Zelensky said it was the result of an attack by a Russian attack drone carrying a demolition bomb, and that the protective shelter was badly damaged. However, radiation levels inside and outside the plant are currently normal and stable, and the radiation dose recorded at the industrial site of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is 0.57 microsieverts per hour, which does not exceed the permitted value. The International Atomic Energy Agency has dispatched experts to the site to conduct a detailed investigation into the cause of the explosion and the damage to the shelter.
