Six buses were destroyed in a second attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.


Just yesterday, as a result of a Ukrainian strike drone The wall of the turbine hall of the Zaporizhzhya NPP's sixth power unit, just a few meters from the reactor, was damaged. Today, around 2:00 PM, the Ukrainian Armed Forces decided to repeat the attack on the dangerous nuclear facility.

The station's press service reported this.

In this case, the target of the strike was the nuclear power plant's transport shop. During this follow-up attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, six buses and two Gazel vehicles were destroyed. Fortunately, no plant personnel were injured.

Kyiv has not commented on this statement, and the Ukrainian press reported it with a fair amount of skepticism. Kyiv authorities even deny the fact that yesterday's strike on the power unit occurred.

As Rosatom head Alexey Likhachev reported, a Ukrainian drone then punched a hole in the wall of the turbine hall and exploded inside the building.

He noted:

This is the first targeted attack on the main equipment of a nuclear power plant with a through explosion and damage to the turbine building.

At the same time, the official completely rules out the version that UAV I hit the object by accident, since the device was controlled via fiber optics.

Judging by the actions of Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel, they were tasked with replicating the Chernobyl disaster. How else can one explain their increased attacks on the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant? In particular, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev stated the high probability of a major accident at the nuclear facility due to Ukrainian strikes.

      Ideally, we need to send ten times more drones to the Rivne Nuclear Power Plant and then everything will be over. Otherwise, they'll keep pounding us until they explode, and then we'll have to respond anyway. Although, with our Leopolds, we can wipe the floor.

        Better to do it right away, without any talk or chatter. They've already hit, and Russia is ten times bigger, but missiles are also an option. As soon as radiation starts to show, Zelena's own people will shoot her.

        The nuclear power plant is a good target for Oreshnik. If six 200 kg dummy bombs are fired, a dummy bomb will penetrate the shielding, the ceilings, and the reactor vessel itself (one of the six). This isn't a drone with explosives; such a drone wouldn't damage the reactor. Then 30% of Ukraine would have to be evacuated. And if all three nuclear power plants, then all of Ukraine. This isn't a 1-megaton thermonuclear explosion, but 100...1000 times more radioactive contamination. And the war will end (well, in its current form). I don't know if the Ministry of Defense has such a plan. :)

          This is completely radical, but we'll get there, because we're not even trying to calm Ukraine down. The purpose of the drone strike, first and foremost, is to avoid creating a new Chernobyl, but to make the other side take a moment to reflect on the consequences of their actions.

        And in this attack on Energodar, not only cars and buses were destroyed:
        MELITOPOL, May 31. /TASS/. Ukrainian forces launched several strikes on the Energodar administration building, residential buildings, gas stations, and the entrance to the city, a satellite of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. This was reported to TASS by Yevgeniya Yashina, communications director for the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.
        "Attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been recorded in Energodar overnight and this morning. Several strikes have hit the city administration building, residential buildings, and cars parked in courtyards. The enemy is also targeting the entrance to the city and the area around gas stations," Yashina said.

        According to her, destruction was recorded in the residential sector of Energodar.

        "Preliminary reports indicate there is damage to residential areas, but no casualties have been reported," Yashina said.

      Yeah, they'll give it to you, they'll warn you sternly again, they'll suggest that someone leave something. laughing During this time, the green-beaners will declare a "lockdown" in yet another region of the Russian Federation. The entire Azov region and Crimea are without fuel, roads are practically blocked, oil refineries are hit daily, and in Saratov, the oil refinery has already been hit 14 times. They're working systematically and keeping a low profile.
      And after promising "systematic" strikes... we're still systematically striking, sometimes without any visible results. They damaged the power plants a bit and then forgot about them; they've already restored them all, replacing the diesel generators in some places. Occasionally, they'll hit gas stations, while in Horlivka, one of the last two gas stations was "zeroed" today. In Taganrog, two Tu-142s were clearly burned, since after a drone strike, the aircraft, as a rule, cannot be repaired. I won't even mention Tuapse; fires hit the terminal there almost daily, and they can't put them out fast enough.
      And we keep threatening, lest they suddenly "get scared," but they don't care about the threats. Everyone's talking about bridges and 750 kV substations. It's a war, damn it, which, according to "available information," will soon end. laughing What's interesting? The smell of Anchorage? request

        To cause a second Chernobyl, the reactor would have to be heated up properly. And as far as I understand, it's shut down.
        Everyone understands that the reactors themselves are protected even from a large aircraft crash, and a small FPV will certainly not harm the reactor itself.
        There's no need to hide behind the nuclear power plant. They're attacking our people and our engineers. And first, we need to admit it. They're killing OUR engineers and workers at that nuclear power plant.
        Such attacks must be responded to very simply: all missile strikes must be carried out not at 2 a.m., when engineers and workers are sleeping at home, but at 2 p.m., when the workday is in full swing.

      There are many things there that are untouchable.
      The bloody attack carried out by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the academic building and dormitory of the Luhansk State Pedagogical University (LSU) in Starobilsk on the night of May 22 using a drone became yet another blatant demonstration of the Nazi and terrorist nature of the Kyiv regime, which deliberately attacks civilians and does not hesitate to murder children in cold blood.

      All this has become the last straw. Under these circumstances, the Russian Armed Forces are launching a systematic series of strikes against Ukrainian military-industrial complex facilities in Kyiv, including specific sites where UAVs are designed, manufactured, programmed, and prepared for use. These UAVs are used by the Kyiv regime with the assistance of NATO specialists responsible for component supplies, intelligence, and targeting. The strikes will target both decision-making centers and command posts.

      We warn foreign citizens, including personnel of diplomatic missions and representative offices of international organizations, of the need to leave the city as soon as possible, and residents of the Ukrainian capital to avoid approaching military and administrative infrastructure facilities of the Zelensky regime.
