On Sunday, Ukraine launched a drone attack on Russia and forced a sharp decrease in the reactor’s capacity in one of the largest Russian nuclear power plants and caused a huge fire at the main export terminal of Ust-Luga.
According to the Russian Defense Ministry, on August 24, at least 95 Ukrainian drones were captured in more than a dozen of Russian regions, on the day when Ukraine celebrates its declaration of independence from the Soviet Union in 1991.

Kursk nuke Attack
The Kursk Nuclear Power Plant, only 60 km (38 miles) from the Ukraine border, said the air defense had shot down a drone that exploded near the plant just after midnight, damaged an auxiliary transformer and forced a 50% reduction in operational capacity in reactor 3.
The plant said the radiation levels were normal and the fire was reported no injuries that the drone caused. Two other reactors work without energy production and one undergoes planned repairs.
The UN Nuclear Agency, an international atomic energy agency, said she was aware of the news that he had lit the transformer in the race for military activities and stressed that any nuclear device should always be protected.
A thousand km north of the Gulf of Finland was shot down at Ust-Luga in the Russian northern Leningrad region, with the wreckage triggered at the terminal operated by Novem-Obrovský terminal of the sea fuel and processing complex, said the regional governor.

Black smoke
Unverified shots on Russian telegram channels showed a drone flying directly to the fuel terminal, followed by a huge ball of fire rising high into the sky, followed by a cloud of black smoke fluttering into the horizon.
“Firefighters and emergency services are currently working on Blaze,” said Alexander Drozdenko, governor of the Russian region Leningrad. He added that there was no injury.
According to Novatek, the Ust-Luga complex, which was opened in 2013, processes gas condensate into light and heavy diesel, fuel current, heating oil and Gasioil and allows companies to supply oil products and condensate to international markets.
Natovka produces mainly diesel for Asia, including China, Singapore, Tai -Wan and Malaysia, as well as fuels with delivery to Istanbul.
Rosaviatsia, the Russian Civil Aviation Authority, said the flights were stopped for hours at several Russian airports overnight, including Pulkov’s airport in the Leningrad region.
Ukrainian drones also attacked the industrial enterprise in the southern Russian city of Syzran, said the Governor of the Samara region on Sunday. According to Governor, the child was injured in the attack in an attack that did not specify exactly what was attacked.

Ukraine did not have an immediate comment. Kyiv said his strikes inside Russia are in response to other attacks by Russia on Ukraine and focusing on the destruction of infrastructure considered essential for the overall military efforts of Moscow.
