A RUSSIAN drone has slammed into the Chernobyl power plant and exploded in a horror attack on the nuclear disaster zone.
The craft carrying a “high-explosive warhead” hit the containment dome of Reactor Four – the power plant which failed in the 1986 Russian disaster.

Chernobyl was the worst nuclear disaster in history and a sarcophagus was built over the top of the reactor to stop the deadly fallout spreading through the wind.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky posted a clip of the explosion and resulting damage from the strike.
He slammed Russia as a “terrorist threat to the entire world”.
Zelensky said: “This shelter was built by Ukraine together with other countries of Europe and the world, together with America – all those committed to real security for humanity.
“The only country in the world that attacks such sites, occupies nuclear power plants, and wages war without any regard for the consequences is today’s Russia.”
The President confirmed radiation levels had not increased but with “significant” damage to the shelter authorities were continuing to monitor the situation.
