      Chinese President Xi Jinping, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, visited an apple production base to learn about the development of the modern fruit industry while inspecting Tianshui City in northwest China's Gansu Province.

      Xi inspected the city of Baoji in northwest China's Shaanxi Province and the city of Tianshui in neighboring Gansu Province from Tuesday afternoon to Wednesday morning.

      Located in the Maiji District of Tianshui City, the apple production base, which began construction in 2005, spans three townships and 25 villages, covering an area of 10,000 hectares.

      The production base serves as a demonstration site for modern agriculture, integrating fruit production, technological innovation, tourism, and diverse educational opportunities.

      It has partnered with leading companies and distributors, enhanced its marketing systems, and introduced a variety of marketing strategies, which ensure that the apples not only grow well but also sell well in the market.

      In 2023, the base produced 220,000 tons, or 600 million yuan's (84.27 million U.S. dollars) worth, of apples.

      The average per capita net income from fruit growing in the region has surpassed 8,000 yuan (1,123 U.S. dollars), leading to increased incomes for 9,163 households and 41,300 individuals.

      The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said on Friday an explosion was heard at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant (NPP) site overnight, but assured the radiation levels at the site remain normal.

      The IAEA team at the Chernobyl site heard an explosion coming from the New Safe Confinement, which protects the remains of reactor 4 of the former Chernobyl NPP, causing a fire, the IAEA said on social media platform X.

      The IAEA team was informed that an unmanned aerial vehicle had struck the confinement's roof, it said.

      Director General of the IAEA Rafael Grossi said on Friday that the drone attack on the Chernobyl site was a very serious matter, but he could confirm that there was no nuclear leakage accident.

      Grossi also said that the recent attack on the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant and the escalating military activities near the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant highlight the persistent nuclear security risks, and the IAEA will maintain a high level of alertness.

      Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on social media on Friday that the attack was carried out by the Russian side, using a drone with a high-explosive warhead that caused damage to the confinement's facility.

      However, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Friday that Moscow was not behind the attack, and dismissed Zelensky's remarks as a "provocative" accusation by Ukraine.

      The Chernobyl plant, some 110 km north of the Ukrainian capital of Kiev, suffered one of the worst nuclear accidents in human history on April 26, 1986.
