Fire at Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant cooling tower completely extinguished

ai generated text

The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine experienced a fire at one of its cooling towers, with conflicting reports on the cause and responsibility. Russian media initially reported the fire was extinguished, while a Moscow-installed official later confirmed it was completely extinguished. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky blamed Ukrainian shelling for the blaze, while Moscow accused Ukrainian armed forces of starting the fire. The UN's nuclear watchdog reported seeing strong dark smoke coming from the facility, but radiation levels were reported to be normal by Ukraine, Russia, and the IAEA.
