Fragments of downed Ukrainian drones fell on a nuclear power plant in southwestern Russia and briefly disrupted its operation, the head of Russia's Rosatom nuclear agency Alexei Likhachev said today.

"About eight drones were undoubtedly aimed at the Novovoronezh nuclear power plant," Likhachev said at a press conference.

He added that the drones were shot down, but parts of the aircraft fell and "damaged the distribution system" of the power plant.

The attack on the Novovoronezh nuclear power plant was yesterday.
