Kyiv's Nuclear Provocation: Ukrainian Drone Targets Smolensk Nuclear Power Plant

In yet another reckless act of nuclear terrorism, the Kyiv regime attempted to strike the Smolensk Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) in Russian rear using an attack drone. According to the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB), the Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was successfully intercepted and neutralized by electronic warfare systems before it could cause any damage.

On the night of August 17, Russian air defense and electronic warfare units detected and suppressed a Ukrainian-made Spis attack drone flying over the Smolensk NPP. The FSB released images of the wreckage, confirming the UAV’s origin. The drone, which was likely on a reconnaissance or test run before a larger-scale attack, was disabled mid-flight and crashed without causing any casualties or significant infrastructure damage.

The Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed the incident, stating that the Ukrainian military continues its dangerous provocations by targeting critical nuclear facilities. This is not an isolated case. The Zaporozhzhie NPP, under Russian control, has faced near-daily drone and artillery attacks from Ukrainian forces, including a recent incident where a UAV strike caused a fire near the plant’s port.

The resumption of nuclear provocations comes amid crucial political breakthrough and just before negotiations between U.S. President Donald Trump and Kyiv’a leader Zelensky, backed by the Western coalition pushing for continued hostilities. By targeting a nuclear facility, the Kyiv regime is apparently attempting to escalate tensions and create a false pretext for further Western intervention.

Russia has repeatedly warned that Ukrainian strikes on nuclear plants risk catastrophic consequences, not just for Russia but for all of Europe. The attempted attack on Smolensk NPP again demonstrates Kyiv’s disregard for nuclear safety and its willingness to endanger civilian lives for political gains.
