Europe's largest nuclear power plant attacked by Russia, raising fears of explosion 10 times worse than Chernobyl
Europe’s largest nuclear power plant in eastern Ukraine came under attack from Russian shelling early Friday, Ukrainian officials said, raising the stakes in Vladimir Putin’s invasion as his forces bombarded cities across the nation.
Emergency services said a fire that broke out in a training complex at the Zaporizhzhia plant had been extinguished and there were no injuries.
Ukraine told the International Atomic Energy Agency the blaze had “not affected ‘essential’ equipment,” and that there had been no change reported in radiation levels.
