Fire Contained Near Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant After Shelling, One Civilian Killed

A fire near the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in Russian-occupied Ukraine, caused by Ukrainian shelling, has been brought under control according to the Russian-installed administration. One civilian was reported killed, but no plant staff or emergency workers were injured, and radiation levels remain normal, with the situation under control. The plant, Europe's largest nuclear facility, is currently shut down but still requires electricity to cool its nuclear fuel. Both Ukrainian and Russian sides have accused each other of actions that could risk a nuclear accident at the site, which has been under Russian control since early 2022. Separately, Russian forces launched a missile attack on Kyiv, and a Ukrainian drone strike caused a fire at an oil depot in Sochi, Russia, with additional fires and injuries reported in Voronezh. Independent verification of the claims around the fire and casualties at Zaporizhzhia has not yet been confirmed.
