Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant is under fire (opens in new tab)

Ukrainian government warned that this would be the case. Russia should be stopped. They are dangerous, everyone will suffer consequences if they are not stopped.

You can actually see military shooting on the premises. Was war considered during the safety design of the NPP?

Is this a strategic location? Why would Russia even risk targeting it?

One of the biggest nuclear power plants in Europe is under fire

sorry for posting someone's random FB posts in a foreign language (he is an ukrainian and pro-ukraine, but writes in russian), but I'm in dire need of any calming words so - take it or leave it -

among other things, he said, three days ago, that even artillery won't blow it up unless they would shoot at it directly for a very long time, due to some kind of powerful hermetic containment building

Ukraine is an electricity exporter according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_electrici....

Is targeting electricity production a de-facto attack on EU infrastructure?

Would taking out Ukraine's electricity generation increase its dependence on Russia (who could sell it), and significantly increase the EU's dependence on Russian gas?

Interesting, largest nuclear power plant in Europe and 4th largest in the world. You can see a lot of the cars alarms are going off, I wonder what set them off.

A live stream of combat between two major countries, in the middle of Europe, right next to the biggest nuclear power plant in Europe, and it's on fire.

And we all thought the COVID experience was surreal...

Firefighters are being shot at, according to the spokesman of NPP.

nice thread (this account is good to follow) disproving Ukrainiang propaganda, Western media saying Russians attacked nuclear power plant and put it on fire, while Russians entered without any shooting and then were shot at by Ukrainians causing fire in administrative building, so much for relying on Western media making money on causing panic and spreading misinformation
