The units of active operations of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine have obtained evidence indicating that the occupants has employed kamikaze drones over the nuclear reactors of the temporarily seized Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP).

It was possible to obtain video footage from an enemy FPV UAV with the help of electronic intelligence means. It contains the UT4D.TT marking, which indicates that the Russian Defense Ministry supplied the drone to the invading forces.

The flight path of the russian kamikaze drone was over the power units of the ZNPP in a direction towards the Ukrainian-controlled Nikopol and Marhanets communities, which are subject to constant enemy attacks.

Earlier, DIU representative Andrii Cherniak, having given a comment to “Babel”, underscored that russians use the territory of ZNPP to launch drones, taking advantage of the lack of the Ukrainian Security and Defence Forces' ability to return fire in the 1.5 km zone around the plant.

The russians have equipped launch pads for their drones right next to the sixth reactor of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.

In addition, since last summer, the invaders have also been using the territory of the nuclear power plant to train FPV drone pilots. This is done by the so-called “archangel” school, which is funded by the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the russian armed forces (formely gru).

The listed facts and evidence are yet another evidence of the criminal and irresponsible activities of the aggressor state of russia at the nuclear facility it occupies, which could have catastrophic consequences.
