A view of a housing project in the ghost town of Pripyat near Chornobyl's nuclear power plant in 2006. Chornobyl's number-four reactor, in what was then the Soviet Union and is now Ukraine, exploded 26 April 1986, sending a radioactive cloud across Europe, becoming the world's worst civilian nuclear disaster. Sergei Supinsky | Afp | Getty Images Russian forces deliberately struck a storage facility for spent nuclear fuel near Ukraine's Chornobyl power plant, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Sunday, in an "extremely vile" attack that did not lead to a spike in radiation. The strike significantly damaged a fuel-reception building meters away from where "large amounts of nuclear material" are stored, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency, which said it had been briefed by Ukraine. Kyiv's state atomic agency Energoatom said no spent fuel had been stored in the building at the time of the attack. A resulting fire was extinguished, and no injuries were reported. Russia has not publicly commented on the alleged strike on the facility, which is located around 15 km (9 miles) from the Chornobyl plant, the site of the world's worst nuclear disaster. "An extremely critical infrastructure facility — and an extremely vile Russian strike," Zelenskyy wrote on X, adding that Russia had used a Shahed attack drone. "As of now, there are no readings exceeding normal background radiation levels. But there is certainly an increase in Russia's brazenness, which long ago went off the charts." In a statement, the IAEA said a team would soon visit the site "to inspect the impact." In February 2025, a Russian Shahed drone damaged a containment arch over the Chornobyl reactor that was destroyed in the April 1986 explosion and meltdown. Russia, which regularly attacks Ukrainian cities and infrastructure with drones and missiles, denied responsibility. Kyiv and Moscow have also traded accusations of attacking the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in southeaste...

Malaysia’s national petroleum company Petroliam Nasional Bhd is seeking access to a major gas field in Turkmenistan, Bernama reported , citing Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim . A deal would require Anwar’s personal involvement in signing the agreement, but a trip to Turkmenistan may be politically tricky for the prime minister because of the upcoming state elections, according to the report. There is a Malaysian delegation traveling to the country in mid-June, Ibrahim said. “But for the country, I have no choice. I will go (to Turkmenistan). And hopefully, we can secure large gas reserves in the region,” the prime minister said. Petronas’ effort to win access to new gas fields is in line with the government’s goal of strengthening Malaysia’s position in the global energy industry, the report said, citing Anwar’s speech at a local election campaign.
