Russia claims nuclear plant targeted during massive Ukrainian drone attack

In Ukraine, authorities say a Russian attack on the southern city of Mykolaiv has killed at least two people.
Meanwhile, Russia says a nuclear power plant was among the targets during a massive Ukrainian drone attack.
Moscow said on Wednesday that the country’s energy infrastructure had come under attack by at least 100 drones overnight. Ukraine also reported strikes. The continuing barrages were accompanied by barbs from the two countries’ presidents, suggesting little prospect of peace talks.
The Russian Ministry of Defence said on Telegram that 104 drones were involved in raids across western Russia, many targeting power and oil facilities.
Local officials claimed that air defence systems had destroyed one drone that had attempted to strike the nuclear power plant in the western region of Smolensk.
