A Ukrainian drone shot down by Russian air defence systems caused a short-lived fire at the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant, the facility’s press service said Sunday, stressing that background radiation around the power plant remained at “natural levels”. The detonation reportedly damaged an auxiliary transformer, cutting the plant’s capacity.
