Russia has repeatedly sent drones and missiles along flight paths near the inactive Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant during its attacks on Ukraine, raising the risk of a serious nuclear incident, Ukraine’s top state prosecutor told Reuters.

Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko detailed the previously unreported Russian military activity near Ukrainian nuclear sites in written remarks, as Ukraine prepares to mark ‌the 40th anniversary of the 1986 Chornobyl disaster on April 26.
