Early morning on Friday, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky raised an alarm, calling on world leaders to intervene after Russian troops attacked a nuclear power plant which could trigger a disaster that could wipe out the whole of Europe.
It was reported that the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine, which has six nuclear energy reactors and is regarded as the largest nuclear power plant in Ukraine, came under heavy bombardment by Russian troops early morning on Friday. The attack eventually led to a fire outbreak at a training building at the power plant at about 2:30 a.m.
Ukrainian firefighters were initially prevented from gaining access to put out the fire by Russian troops. However, it was later reported that the fire has been put out and fighting has also stopped in the area.
