A Russian drone strike hit the radiation shield at Chernobyl's damaged reactor, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed. The attack caused a fire, later extinguished, but radiation levels remain stable, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Russia denied the strike. Zelensky called for global pressure on Moscow, saying Putin is "not preparing for negotiations." The IAEA remains on high alert. Experts say the thick concrete sarcophagus prevents major radiation leaks. The attack follows rising military activity near Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. Zelensky is set to discuss the war with U.S. officials in Munich.
