The Russian National Guard has said that, thanks to this operation, “illegal actions” that jeopardized the safety of the nuclear power plant, considered the largest in Europe, have been dismantled, TASS news agency reports.

One person has also been arrested for allegedly violating the security cordon, bringing to 26 the number of arrests since Russia took control of this strategic facility in early March.
