On March 7 local time, it was announced that the emergency state at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant had been lifted on the same day.

It was reported that around 2 a.m. on February 14, a drone carrying high - explosive bombs attacked the safety shield above the fourth generating unit of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. After the fire was extinguished, the filling material of the safety shield continued to burn slowly. However, at 12 noon on March 7, this process stopped.

It is known that the radiation situation at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant has not changed and is under continuous control. The national emergency service will continue to be on duty at the nuclear power plant and will also continue radiation monitoring.

On the 14th, a drone hit the top of the "New Safe Confinement" at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. One side claimed that the other side was responsible for the attack. The other side responded that any accusations of attacking the nuclear power plant were "provocations and distortions of facts".
