Russian “Shahed” flew near Khmelnytskyi NPP again

The Russian “Shahed” once again flew near the Khmelnytskyi NPP site.

This was reported by “Energoatom”.

On the night of September 22, another flight of a strike drone was recorded near the industrial site of the Khmelnytskyi NPP.

“The flight trajectory indicates that Russia likely attempted to simulate an attack directly on the NPP by sharply deviating from the initial trajectory towards the station, approaching the site, and then turning back to the original trajectory,” the report says.

"Energoatom" noted that this was not the first time when Russia endangers Ukrainian nuclear facilities, deliberately creating a threat to the safety of NPPs and intensifying energy terror.

"Energoatom" provides information about each such incident to the relevant authorities for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine to send notes to the International Atomic Energy Agency and inform domestic and international organizations.

“The Russians are raising the stakes, systematically creating tension at nuclear facilities. This terror must stop, as the consequences could be fatal,” Petro Kotin, Head of "Energoatom" said.
