A Shahed drone hit one of the buildings “at the centralized facility for the interim storage of spent nuclear fuel,” President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
"An extremely critical infrastructure - and an extremely vicious Russian attack," he writes on X, calling the attack intentional.
Radiation levels are not reported to have been affected by last night's attack.
"The radiation situation at the central nuclear fuel and energy facility remains within normal limits," the state nuclear power company Energoatom writes on Telegram.
No injuries have been reported. An area within a 30-mile radius of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant has been cordoned off since the meltdown in 1986.
