Ukrainian drones hit the roof of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant training centre, causing no major damage and no increase in radiation levels, the Russian-installed administration of the Russia-held plant in Ukraine said on Saturday.
The strike occurred about 300 metres from a reactor unit, the administration said in a statement on the Telegram messaging app.
"This centre is unique, it houses the world's only full-scale simulator of a reactor hall, which is critically important for staff training," the statement said.
Although the plant is not currently operating, it still requires electricity to keep nuclear fuel cool. Authorities confirmed that operations were unaffected, operational safety limits were not breached, and radiation levels remain normal.
There was no immediate response from Ukraine.
