Press tour at Chornobyl NPP
The impact site of a Russian drone on the structure of the New Safe Confinement (NSC), which covers the fourth power unit of the Chornobyl nuclear power plant destroyed in 1986, in the Kyiv region, Ukraine, on April 23, 2026. On the night of February 14, 2025, a Russian drone damaged the confinement shell, causing it to lose airtightness; no increase in radiation levels was recorded. April 26, 2026, marks the 40th anniversary of the explosion at reactor No. 4, one of the worst man-made disasters in the history of nuclear energy. (Photo by Yevhen Kotenko/Ukrinform/NurPhoto)
