The operational headquarters for counter-terrorism operations in the Kursk region has decided to implement additional security measures to ensure the safety of the city of Kurchatov, where the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant is located. This was reported by the press service of the regional government.

From August 29, measures will be undertaken in the Kurchatov region and at the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant, according to the report.
