Russia accused Ukraine on Sunday of striking one of its nuclear power plants in an overnight drone attack that caused no increase in radiation levels.

The alleged attack sparked a fire at the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant near the Russia-Ukraine border, forcing a 50% reduction in operating capacity at one of the facility’s nuclear reactors. The fire was quickly extinguished, and no injuries were reported.
