Risk of 'nuclear incident' at Kursk NPP, says IAEA chief
The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Grossi, after visiting the Kursk NPP, said that cases of military activity near the Kursk NPP raise concerns about its safety. He reported that he saw traces of UAV attacks.
"The peculiarity of the Kursk NPP is that it operates RBMK reactors. The RBMK, by its design, does not have a protective shell, a containment, which many reactors of other types in the world are equipped with," he said.
The war of the bridges
Another Russian pontoon bridge installed on the Seym River has disappeared in the Kursk region of Russia between the villages of Zvanoe and Glushkovo.
This is evidenced by satellite images.
This crossing was built by the Russians 500 meters away from the previous one, which had been successfully destroyed by the AFU earlier.
Watch this one to see how a policeman cost his city $280,000 by arresting a man for not talking. I thought everyone knew we have a right to remain silent?
Didi says this one is good. The collapse of the Russian Army.

🇺🇦🇺🇸 Ukraine will give the US a list of targets in Russia that it wants to hit with long-range weapons.
This is the latest attempt to convince Washington to lift the restrictions, Politico writes. The United States believes that lifting restrictions on long-range strikes will not be of strategic importance in the war, as Russia has moved the most important targets, including aircraft, away from the border.
At the same time, Kyiv has identified several important targets that it can hit with US missiles and will try to convince President Biden to change his mind. However, the United States fears that this will lead to an escalation.
