The DIU has received evidence that Russian troops are using kamikaze drones over the nuclear reactors of the occupied Zaporizhzhia NPP.
The occupiers are using kamikaze drones over the nuclear reactors of the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, which could lead to catastrophic consequences, according to the Chief Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
The intelligence showed a video from an enemy FPV drone with the UT4D.TT marking. This indicates that the drone was supplied by the Russian Ministry of Defense. In the video, the drone’s flight path runs over the ZNPP power units towards the Nikopol and Marhanets communities, which are under constant attack.
The flight path of the Russian kamikaze drone is flying over ZNPP power units toward the Ukrainian-controlled Nikopol and Marhanets communities, which are under constant enemy attack.
The intelligence service reported that “the occupiers have equipped launch pads for their UAVs right next to the sixth reactor of the ZNPP”.
In addition, according to the GUR, since the summer of 2023, the territory of the seized nuclear power plant has been used by the Russians to train fpv drone pilots – this is done by the so-called “Arkhangel” school, which is funded by the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces (formerly “Gru”).
“The listed facts and evidence are yet another evidence of the criminal and irresponsible activities of the aggressor state of Russia at the nuclear facility occupied by it, which could have catastrophic consequences,” the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine emphasized.
In April, ZNPP was attacked by drones at least three times, the first time since November 2022. The Russians blamed Ukraine for the attacks. In turn, the Ukrainian General Staff claimed that the Russians were planning another “false flag” provocation at the plant.
