Kursk Nuclear Drama: Russia Blames Kyiv's Drone Fireworks Show
In a real fireworks sort of way, Moscow claims Kyiv lit up the Kursk nuclear power plant with 'dozens of drone attacks,' causing a 50% cut in the reactor's operating capacity. This daring spectacle unfolded just as Ukraine was marking 34 years of independence, adding an explosive twist to the celebrations. Russian authorities reported an 'auxiliary transformer' got a little too hot to handle, but Ukraine stayed mum on the incident. All happening just 37 miles from the border, proving geopolitics can be quite the electrifying show.
