Moscow (TIP): Russian President Vladimir Putin on August 22 accused Ukraine of trying to strike Russia’s Kursk nuclear power plant in an overnight attack and said Moscow had informed the UN nuclear safety watchdog about the situation. Acting Kursk Governor Alexei Smirnov told Putin that the situation at the Kursk plant, which has four Soviet graphite-moderated RBMK-1000 reactors, was “stable”. “The enemy tried to strike at the nuclear power plant during the night today,” Putin told a meeting of senior officials about the situation in Russian border regions.
