A fire has been seen at a nuclear power plant in Ukraine after tanks opened fire with heavy weapons at the facility, footage in the early hours of Friday morning showed.
A live feed from the Zaporizhzhia station showed flames at the site in the east of country, having earlier showed tanks firing at buildings - sparking fears of a radiation disaster in the nation currently being invaded by Russian forces.
Dmytro Orlov, the mayor of the nearby town of Energodar, confirmed the blaze in an online post. The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is the largest of its kind in Europe.
'As a result of continuous enemy shelling of buildings and units of the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is on fire,' Orlov said on his Telegram channel, citing what he called a threat to world security.
Earlier, Ukrainian authorities reported Russian troops were stepping up efforts to seize the plant and had entered the town with tanks.
The shocking footage came after Ukrainian civilians defied Russian troops for a second day running in a bid to protect the nuclear plant. They were shown setting up make-shift road blocks in an attempt to block the road to the facility.
Both the Ukrainian state atomic energy company and Orlov said troops were nearing Zaporizhzhia. Officials said loud shots were heard in the city late Thursday.
'Many young men in athletic clothes and armed with Kalashnikov have come into the city. They are breaking down door and trying to get into the apartments of local residents,' the statement from Energoatom said.

I got a feeling this wasn’t the Russians.
But perhaps the Chechens they hired

Come on, Senator Graham. Think it, say it privately to colleagues if you want, but publicly calling for the assassination of a foreign leader is reckless and just plain crazy.
Thats certainly a good question

Every responsible nation should condemn the assassination of the Russian Ambassador to Turkey.

You misunderstand me (I think). I wrote “there watching”. Meaning actually over there on the ground seeing with their own eyes, not watching the propaganda, including on television here (in the USA).
Fire has been extinguished
Hah! Poso gets the receipts and FAST!
This is such a mess.
I’ve heard the Germans have stopped shipments to Russia of Adidas track suits of the sort preferred by both Russian and Uke gangsters . . .
The propaganda is off the charts!
I don’t like Putin one bit.
And, from his/Russia’s perspective,
o The West burned Moscow to a crisp. (Napoleon, 1812)
o The West (Britain and France) with the Ottoman Turks beat up on the Russians in the Crimean War (1853-56). Russians saw themselves as protecting Christian minorities in Ottoman lands.
o The West (Germany) beat up on Russia in WW I, to the tune of 2.5 million dead Russians.
o The West (Germany again) invaded Russia in what became The Great Patriotic War of 1941-45, killing over 25 million Russians.
And the Russians see NATO as basically us and GERMANY. Do you think Leopards on the Russian border is somehow going to fly? Because that’s what they perceive would come with Ukraine in NATO.
Our woke foreign policy establishment is clueless about the historic perspective. This is extremely dangerous with a nuclear well-armed adversary.
Ukraine officials say fire at nuclear power plant erupted outside the perimeter At the training bldg
Here is the weather forecast for Moscow, sunny and cold until early afternoon, then firestorms with nuclear fallout and winds gusting to 1700 mph, followed by an eerie silence and the odd cry F U Putin.
Brought to you by NATO, we’ve been waiting for a chance to use these damn things.
This thing has just gone critical.
If we want to survive we have to take action now.
We must sink the entire Russian Navy immediately.
