Russia Strikes Substation Vital to Khmelnytskyi Nuclear Plant

24tv.ua (Ukrainian) —

Russia attacked a substation critical to the Khmelnytskyi Nuclear Power Plant with three drones on November 3, 2026, prompting Ukraine to inform G7, EU, and IAEA diplomats of the nuclear safety threat. Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal reported the attack during a special meeting, noting the broader assault involved 289 drones, 17 ballistic missiles, and 59 cruise missiles targeting Ukrainian power plants and grid infrastructure to maximize damage before winter. The deliberate targeting of infrastructure essential to nuclear plant operations poses a risk to European nuclear safety, and Ukraine expects a firm international response to these systematic strikes.
