Russian attacks target nuclear substations, kill seven, Ukraine says

Russia launched a barrage of drones and missiles in overnight attacks on Ukraine, targeting substations that supply two nuclear power plants and killing seven people, Ukrainian officials said on Nov 8, Reuters reported.

“Russia once again targeted substations that power the Khmelnytskyi and Rivne nuclear power plants,” Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said on X.

“These were not accidental but well-planned strikes. Russia is deliberately endangering nuclear safety in Europe.”
