Chornobyl fuel storage damage detailed as drone attacks intensify near Dobropillia

Further details have emerged regarding the drone strike on the Central Spent Nuclear Fuel Storage facility in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone, with the IAEA confirming that the fuel reception building sustained damage to its facade, windows, and doors. The agency is dispatching inspectors to assess the site. Separately, a spokesperson for the "Kara-Dag" brigade reported a significant increase in Russian fiber-optic drone attacks targeting logistics near Dobropillia in Donetsk. These updates follow earlier reports of multiple Russian attacks across Ukraine on June 7, including an infrastructure object hit in Zaporizhzhia injuring a 59-year-old man, strikes near a public transport stop in Balabyne, and two attacks on a mine in Dnipropetrovsk region that injured a mechanic and damaged the facility's life support systems.
