Russia 'Launching Kamikaze Drones' over Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant: Video

Russian forces have flown so-called "kamikaze" drones over the nuclear reactors of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant (ZNPP), according to Ukrainian intelligence which has posted what it says is video footage of the site.

The clip posted on X, formerly Twitter, by Ukrainian internal affairs adviser Anton Gerashchenko, purports to show video from a Russian drone obtained via electronic surveillance equipment.

"The drones are flying over the power units of the ZNPP towards the constantly shelled Nikopol and Marhanets communities," Gerashchenko wrote.

The site was captured by Russian forces in March 2022 and has been controlled by the Russian company Rosatom. Since its capture, the plant has not generated power and is mostly shut down, but there has been international concern at continued hostilities taking place around the plant.

Newsweek has contacted the Russian Defense Ministry for comment.
