The DIU's active action units have found evidence that the occupiers are using drones at the ZNPP. The video from the enemy fpv drone was obtained with the help of electronic intelligence. The footage has UT4D.TT marking, which indicates that the drone was supplied by the Russian Ministry of Defense.

The flight path of the Russian kamikaze drone runs over the ZNPP power units towards the Ukrainian-controlled Nikopol and Marhanets communities, which are under constant enemy attack.

Andriy Chernyak, a representative of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, said that Russians use the territory of ZNPP to launch drones, as Ukrainian troops cannot return fire in the 1.5 kilometer zone around the plant.

According to intelligence, the occupiers have equipped launch pads for their drones near the sixth reactor of Zaporizhzhia NPP.

In addition, since the summer of 2023, the Russians have been using the territory of the seized nuclear power plant to train fpv drone pilots. This is done by the so-called “Arkhangel” school, which is funded by the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces (former GRU).
