Ukraine, Russia Trade Blame over fire at Nuclear Plant

Ukraine and Russia have blamed each other after a fire broke out at the giant Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant on Sunday.
Ukraine’s President, Volodymyr Zelensky said Russian forces had started a fire at the plant, which has been occupied by Moscow’s forces for more than two years. Zaporizhzhia’s Kremlin-installed governor said Ukrainian shelling caused the blaze.
The UN’s nuclear watchdog said it saw “strong dark smoke” coming from the facility – but said there was “no impact reported” for nuclear safety.
The development comes as Ukrainian troops have advanced up to 30km inside Russia, in the deepest and most significant incursion since Moscow began its full-scale invasion in February 2022.
