Fire in Zaporizhzhya, Europe's largest nuclear power plant
In Zaporizhzhya, the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, a fire rages in the night from Thursday to Friday. The mayor of nearby Energodar, in southeastern Ukraine, reports in a Facebook video that the fire started after an attack by Russian ground forces. The fire can be seen in unverified images on social media.

Russian troops have been trying to capture the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant in recent days. The developments surrounding Energodar already led on Thursday to a response from the UN nuclear watchdog IAEA, which called on Russian and Ukrainian troops not to fight in the area around the nuclear power plant.
