The UAV was destroyed by air defense forces.
During the Russian attack on the night of September 12, a Russian "Shahed" drone flew in close proximity to the Khmelnytsky Nuclear Power Plant.
This was reported by Serhiy Tyurin, Head of the Khmelnytsky Regional Military Administration.
"During the nighttime attack today, a Russian "Shahed" strike drone was recorded flying in close proximity to the Khmelnytsky Nuclear Power Plant. Later, this "Shahed" was shot down by Ukrainian air defense forces," the official said.
According to Tyurin, Russia is deliberately routing missiles and strike drones to fly past nuclear facilities. This is not the first time this has occurred, he noted.
