Chernobyl Drone Strike Breaches Radiation Shield

In February 2025, a drone strike pierced through Chernobyl's protective shield, the massive steel

structure built to contain the radioactive remains of Reactor 4. The UN nuclear watchdog

confirmed the damage created a hole that no longer blocks radiation from escaping. Ukrainian officials

blame Russian forces for the attack during the ongoing war. Teams are now rushing to assess the full

extent of contamination risks. This isn't just about one site. It's a stark reminder

that active conflict near nuclear facilities puts the entire region at risk of catastrophic consequences.
