The fire at the nuclear facility was put out rapidly and no injuries have been reported, according to Russian officials.

Ukraine launched a large drone strike Sunday that caused damage at Russia's Kursk Nuclear Power Plant and a major fuel export terminal hundreds of miles away.

Russia launched drones and a missile into Ukraine overnight into Sunday, the air force in Kyiv said, as the country kicked off independence day celebrations marking the anniversary of its 1991 declaration of independence from the Soviet Union.

Kyiv had long requested permission to use U.S. weapons to launch strikes deep into Russia before the Biden administration gave the go-ahead.

The Pentagon has been quietly blocking Ukraine from using U.S.-made long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) to strike targets inside Russia, limiting Kyiv's ability to employ these weapons in its defense against Moscow's invasion,

Zelenskyy said Ukraine hadn't been discussing long-range attacks with the US, after a new report said the Pentagon had blocked some ATACMS strikes.
