The Chernobyl nuclear power station was hit overnight in an apparent drone strike, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has said. Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, said a Russian drone strike with a “high explosive warhead” hit the outer shelter of the nuclear plant. The IAEA said that a UAV hit the shelter protecting the site at approximately 1.50am local time.
