"On January 5, the Ukrainian armed forces attempted yet another attack on the nuclear power station and the city of Energodar in the Zaporozhye Region using eight airplane-type combat drones," the ministry said. "All drones were destroyed by air defenses. During fall one of them exploded and caused a fire on the roof of a training center at the ZNPP," it added. The ministry believes that the goal behind Ukraine's persistent attacks on ZNPP is to provoke a man-made disaster. The attempted attack left no casualties, damage or abnormal radiation levels, and the plant continues to function as usual, the statement read.
