Zelenskiy says ‘Europe must wake up’ as Russian shelling sparks fire at Ukraine nuclear power plant
The Guardian says a fire burned for several hours at Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, the largest of its kind in Europe, overnight after shelling from Russian forces prompted widespread concern about the safety of Ukraine’s atomic infrastructure.
The blaze, located in a training building on the perimeter of the site, started early on Friday morning and was extinguished by about 6.20am Ukraine time. Ukrainian authorities said that the site had been secured and the reactors were safe, and the IAEA said the fire had not affected “essential” equipment. However, the incident underlined the dangers to a nuclear plant in the midst of a conflict.
