A fire broke out at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine, with both Moscow and Kyiv blaming each other for the incident. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of starting the fire, which was visible from the city of Nikopol, while Russian officials claimed Ukrainian forces attacked the facility. The U.N.'s International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported no signs of elevated radiation and indicated that the six reactors at the plant are in a cold shutdown state, minimizing any immediate risks. Video footage showed dark smoke billowing from one of the cooling towers, which both sides confirmed was damaged. Despite the fire, Russian authorities stated that emergency workers contained the blaze and there was no threat to the plant's operations. This incident follows Ukraine's recent military incursion into Russian territory, marking a new phase in the ongoing conflict.
