00:21A drone just hit Europe's largest nuclear plant.
00:25Not near it. Not around it. Inside it.
00:28And now the Kremlin is furious. And when Putin gets furious, cities burn.
00:34So the question everyone in Kiev should be asking tonight, is the Ereshnik already being fueled?
00:41Here's what happened.
00:42On May 30th, a fiber-optic guided drone, the kind that can't be jammed,
00:47punched a hole through the turbine hall of Unit 6 at the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant.
00:53Rosatom, Russia's state nuclear agency, called it the first deliberate precision strike on core equipment at a nuclear facility ever.
01:03The reactors are in cold shutdown. No radiation leaked. No one was hurt.
01:09But that's almost beside the point, because what just changed isn't the radiation count.
01:14It's the rules of the game.
01:17Zaporizhia isn't just any target. It's the largest nuclear plant in Europe.
01:22Six VEVR-1000 reactors sitting in the middle of an active war zone.
01:29The IAEA has monitors living on that site.
01:32Director General Grossi has warned, repeatedly, that any military strike near this plant risks a catastrophe that doesn't respect borders.
01:41A serious release wouldn't just hit Ukraine or Russia. It would drift across Europe.
01:48The plant's own communications director put it plainly.
01:51Any attack on a nuclear plant ceases to be a purely military action.
01:57And yet, here we are.
01:59Moscow's reaction was immediate and furious.
02:03Rosatom chief Alexei Likachev said Ukraine had crossed a red line,
02:07warning of potential strikes on reactor halls and safety systems,
02:12with consequences stretching beyond the conflict zone.
02:15That language matters.
02:17Red lines in this war have a pattern.
02:20They get crossed.
02:21Then come the missiles.
02:22And Russia's most feared new weapon, the hypersonic Oreshnik ballistic missile,
02:28has already been used on Ukrainian cities.
02:31It travels at Mach 10.
02:33No current air defense system can intercept it.
02:36Putin himself has called it a demonstration of intent.
02:40So when the Kremlin starts invoking red lines after a nuclear plant strike,
02:45Kiev has every reason to be watching the skies.
02:48Ukraine flatly denies it.
02:50Kiev says these are Russian propaganda claims,
02:53conveniently timed ahead of an IAEA board meeting.
02:57Ukraine's consistent position has been,
03:00we would never strike Zaporizhia, it would be suicidal.
03:04And that argument has logic.
03:05Why would Zelensky hand Putin both a military and a propaganda win?
03:11But the drone was fiber optic guided, sophisticated, precise, and harder to fake.
03:17Somebody sent it.
03:19And right now, the Kremlin has decided it knows who.
03:22Europe's largest nuclear plant has been hit.
03:26The IAEA is alarmed.
03:28Moscow is seething.
03:29And a weapon that cannot be stopped may already be on a target list.
03:34Whether Zelensky ordered this or not almost doesn't matter anymore.
03:39Because in this war, perception is escalation.
03:42Is Kiev about to pay a catastrophic price for one drone?
03:59The IAEA.
04:00Theじゃあna's missile apareed in Shanghai.
04:00The ditch that or not does not matter.
04:00For this life, when it
