Waves of Ukrainian drones hit Russian power, oil facilities

A nuclear power plant was among the targets of a massive Ukrainian drone attack against Russian oil and power facilities, Russian officials and media outlets reported on Wednesday.

Air defense systems destroyed a drone attempting to strike a nuclear power facility in the western region of Smolensk bordering Belarus, Governor Vasily Anokhin said on the Telegram messaging app.

The Smolensk Nuclear Power Plant, the largest power generating plant in Russia's northwest, was working normally, RIA state news agency reported, citing the plant's press service.

Reuters could not independently verify the reports and there was no comment from Ukraine.

The Russian defense ministry said on Telegram that 104 drones were involved in raids across western Russia, 11 of which were destroyed over the Smolensk region.

In total, Russian air defenses destroyed drones over nine regions, nearly half of them over Kursk where Russian forces are fighting to drive out Ukrainian troops that have occupied several villages.
