The Russian management of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant reported on Saturday that a Ukrainian drone dropped an explosive charge on a road outside the facility, endangering staff using the road, according to the TASS news agency.

Russia has been in control of Zaporizhzhia, Europe's largest nuclear power plant, since shortly after launching a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. The conflict has led to repeated accusations from both Moscow and Kyiv of sabotage attempts targeting the plant's operations.

The incident raised significant safety concerns at the plant, which has been a focal point of military tension since the war began.
