Russian forces have captured the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant in Ukraine, the largest nuclear plant in Europe, after clashes with militants in the vicinity of the nuclear plant, the Russian military command said in a statement.
“The Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant was seized after clashes with militants in its vicinity, where the operational teams carry out their usual work and are under the protection of the Russian Armed Forces,” Sputnik News Agency quoted the command’s statement as saying.
Earlier today, the Ukrainian Emergencies Ministry said that a fire that erupted in some sections of the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant, was extinguished.
The fire reportedly broke out in an administrative part of the plant, and did not threaten the nuclear reactors
