Dragon Media News Desk

More than 10 drone attacks have been recorded against the training center of the Zaporozhskaya Nuclear Power Plant since the evening of September 12, according to the plant administration. The facility, managed by Russia’s state nuclear corporation Rosatom, said the attacks were carried out by Ukrainian forces.

Preliminary information indicated that there were no casualties. The extent of physical damage is still being assessed, while the risk of further drone attacks remains high. A fuller assessment of the consequences is expected once the threat of additional strikes subsides and detailed inspections can be conducted.

The training center provides theoretical and practical instruction for personnel working at the nuclear power plant. Staff regularly conduct exercises there to prepare for abnormal operating conditions and emergencies, ensuring that personnel can respond quickly, accurately and in coordination when necessary.

The plant administration described the training facility as an important supporting component of the broader nuclear safety system. It argued that strikes on such infrastructure pose risks not only to physical facilities but also to the systems used to maintain personnel readiness for emergency situations.

The situation at the nuclear power plant remains under control, according to the administration, which said operational safety continues to be maintained. Radiation levels were reported to remain within normal limits, and there was no indication that the latest drone attacks had caused an immediate radiological threat.

Military activity around the Zaporozhskaya Nuclear Power Plant has remained a major international concern throughout the conflict. The International Atomic Energy Agency has repeatedly warned that military actions in or around nuclear facilities could create serious nuclear safety risks and has called for maximum restraint by all sides.

The claim that Ukrainian forces were responsible for the latest attacks has not been independently confirmed. Russia and Ukraine have repeatedly accused each other of military actions around the nuclear facility, making independent verification and international monitoring particularly important in assessing incidents involving the plant.
