Impact at the container reception site The kinetic impact ignited a localized fire covering an area of 40 square meters. Emergency response teams deployed to the nuclear site managed to promptly isolate and fully extinguish the blaze. Energoatom confirmed that there were no casualties among the facility’s operational staff. Crucially, the state operator clarified that no spent nuclear fuel was being held inside the specific reception building when the strike occurred. Automated monitoring systems and manual surveys indicate that the background radiation environment across the entire CSFSF platform remains completely stable and within normal regulatory limits. In its public denunciation of the strike, Energoatom heavily criticized the Kremlin’s reckless targeting of nuclear installations. “Another blow to a nuclear infrastructure facility has once again demonstrated to the entire world the true face of the Kremlin regime, which deliberately creates threats to nuclear and radiation safety,” Energoatom noted in its release. “Russia continues to act as a terrorist state and a nuclear terrorist, disregarding international law and the safety of millions of people.”
