Russia accused Ukraine Sunday of launching drone attacks that sparked a fire at a nuclear power plant in its western Kursk region overnight, as Ukraine celebrated 34 years since its independence.
Russian officials said several power and energy facilities were targeted in the overnight strikes. The fire at the nuclear facility was quickly extinguished with no injuries reported, according to the plant’s press service on Telegram. While the attack damaged a transformer, radiation levels remained within normal ranges.
The United Nations’ nuclear watchdog said it was aware of media reports that a transformer at the plants had caught fire “due to military activity,” but hadn’t received independent confirmation. It said its director-general, Rafael Mariano Grossi, said that “every nuclear facility must be protected at all times.”
Ukraine did not immediately comment on the alleged attack.

What dangerous place for Ukraine to target.
Zelensky dwarf has gone crazy.
I doubt if they actually targeted it. There’s a lot of ordinance flying around over there, going every which way.
Ukraine war is expanding, not shrinking. When will Russia run out of ammo?
“I doubt if they actually targeted it. There’s a lot of ordinance flying around over there, going every which way.”
***********************************************
I have little doubt that it was targeted. Not the nuclear reactor(s) itself but the ancillary facilities needed to bring the generated electricity out into the grids.
I don’t think either side is going to run out of ammo. There’s too much money to made selling it.
I doubt if they actually targeted it

You have a very, very short memory.The Ukies were found guilty of shelling the nuke reactor in Zaparhoznia ( taken under Russian control). They are up to their old games….desperation.
“MOSCOW, March 14 (Reuters) - The Russian-controlled management of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the largest in Europe, said on Thursday that the Ukrainian army had shelled a critical infrastructure facility at the plant…”
An errant bomber over London brought about the bombing of German cities in WW2.
The Ukes should be more careful - when fuses are short, or excuses are being looked for, it doesn’t take much to escalate.
Chernobyl is a tasty target for payback.
I kind of tune out what both sides say. They really are two peas in a pod.
If this is true it is more proof little Zeke does not want this war to end
“Ukraine war is expanding, not shrinking. When will Russia run out of ammo?”
When China runs out of the ability to supply them (i.e., not in our lifetimes).
How about what Ukrainians themselves say?

#раскладка
Началась формирование ложных ожиданий для Украины со стороны ресурсов глобалистов и ОП. Скрытый нарратив, что не все так плохо.
Это 100% манипуляция, так как:
1. За эти 1010 дней войны потенциал в живой силе сократился на 65%
2. Уровень СЗЧ вырос с 0.1%, до 15% и продолжает расти.
3. Разочарование общества достигает 83%
4. Моральный дух армии с 100% упал до 15%
5. Военный потенциал упал до 20%, ВС РФ превосходит Украину в дальнобойных дронах, паритет в fpv, преимущества в ракетах и ФАБах, в авиации, в артиллерии в живой силе.
6. Экономически Украина в коме, жива только за счёт кредитов
7. Народ массово продолжает выезжать
8. Кадровый голод всюду
9. Нищета растёт
10. Кладбища растут
11. Разруха растёт
12. Коррупция растёт
Do yourself a favor and translate it.
Yeah, I tune them out too.
Russia and the Ukraine really are two peas in a pod.
Let me spoon feed you.
“ 1. Over these 1010 days of war, the potential in manpower has decreased by 65%
2. The level of serious injuries has risen from 0.1% to 15% and continues to grow.
3. Public disappointment reaches 83%
4. The army’s morale has fallen from 100% to 15%
5. Military potential has dropped to 20%, the Russian Armed Forces surpass Ukraine in long-range drones, parity in FPV, advantages in missiles and FABs, in aviation, in artillery, and in manpower.
6. Economically, Ukraine is in a coma, alive only due to loans
7. The population continues to leave en masse
8. There is a personnel shortage everywhere
9. Poverty is growing
10. Cemeteries are growing
11. Devastation is growing
12. Corruption is growing…
Doesn’t sound like winning, does it?
Save your breath, FRiend. I just don’t care.
Ukraine tried to strike the plant, not sure exactly what they were targeting there, but the drone was shot down just before getting there. It took out some of the electric service to the plant when it fell, but that was the only damage.
The Ukrainians are hitting the substations that supply power to the freight rail system supporting the invasion of Ukraine.
What about Putin launching thousands of missiles and drones at civilian targets in Kyiv?
I’m talking about nuclear reactors and radiation leaks being dangerous.
The punk needs to leave the nuclear reactor alone.
Putin and Zelensky are BOTH bombing civilians.
