“The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine is on fire, according to Dmytro Orlov, the mayor of the nearby town of Energodar,” CNN reports.
Washington Post: “Ukraine’s foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba, warned on Twitter that the fallout could be worse than the 1986 meltdown at Chernobyl if the flames aren’t extinguished.”
“A government official also told the Associated Press that elevated levels of radiation were already being detected near the site.”
