The blackout affected critical systems, including the New Safe Confinement structure over Reactor 4 and spent nuclear fuel storage. Backup diesel generators activated automatically, preventing any radiation release, with no elevated levels detected. Ukrainian President Zelensky condemned the attack, stating it created radiation threats by targeting known infrastructure linked to the site. The strike involved over 20 Shahed/Geran-2 drones amid a broader barrage of 86 reported launches.
