Kursk Nuclear Plant Stable Amid Attack Claims

The Kursk nuclear power plant in Russia continues to operate normally with radiation levels at safe limits, despite unverified reports of a Ukrainian attack. Several Telegram channels claimed an attack was thwarted by air defenses, leading to a fire miles from the facility.

Rosenergoatom, the operator of Russia's Kursk nuclear power plant, confirmed the facility is functioning normally with radiation levels safe, following unsubstantiated media claims of an attempted Ukrainian assault.

On Thursday, various Russian Telegram channels alleged that Ukrainian forces attempted an attack on the plant, which was foiled by air defenses, leading to a fire several miles from the site.

Reuters has been unable to independently verify these claims. Ukrainian forces invaded Kursk on August 6 and are still present, as Russian forces struggle to repel them.
