MOSCOW (AA) - A Ukrainian drone rammed a nuclear waste storage facility of the Kursk nuclear power plant, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Saturday.
Ukrainian armed forces purposefully attacked the Kursk nuclear power plant with three drones. One armed with explosives, crashed into the wall of the storage facility and two fell on the plant's administrative buildings, Zakharova said in a statement.
According to preliminary data, components used to build drones were supplied by Western countries, she said, adding that such actions "could not be carried out without approval if not direct instruction of the Western supervisors."
Zakharova criticized Kyiv and said, "What happened proves that it has no boundaries," even in issues of acts of nuclear terrorism.
"Apparently they realized that a full-scale nuclear catastrophe could have become a consequence of the UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) raid, which would have affected the territories of many countries," she said.
Zakharova urged all governments to come out with a strong condemnation of Kyiv's "extremely dangerous" actions, which may lead to "irreparable consequences."
"Relevant international organizations, environmental non-government organizations and civil society should also give an appropriate assessment of this act of terrorism," she said.
