Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in the city of Enerhodar, has caught fire after being bombed by Russian troops.

Video footage showed flames flickering from the plant at night. The plant provides a quarter of Ukraine’s power.

Andriy Tuz, a spokesperson for the plant said, “We demand that [the Russians stop the heavy weapons fire. There is a real threat of nuclear danger in the biggest atomic energy station in Europe.”

As Russian tanks and infantry moved towards the plant, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) called the situation “critical” and called on military forces to avoid violence near the site (Courtesy News week)
