Drone Strike on Chornobyl's New Safe Confinement Arch Threatens World's Most Vulnerable Nuclear Site

A Russian drone strike on 14 February 2025 punched a 15-square-metre hole through the New Safe Confinement arch at Chornobyl, destroying key systems that contain radioactive material. The $2.5bn structure, built to shield the world from the ruins of reactor No. 4, now requires €500m in repairs within four years or its 100-year lifespan cannot be guaranteed. If the underlying sarcophagus collapses, over 100 tonnes of nuclear fuel would be released into the air. The strike occurred during Russia's ongoing war against Ukraine, with the plant having already experienced occupation in 2022 and multiple blackouts since October 2024.
