Fire Extinguished At Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant, Blame Game Continues

Members of company tactical group "Steppe Wolves" prepare a handmade small MLRS for firing toward Russian troops in Zaporizhzhia region

Over the weekend, a fire broke out at Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, which has now been extinguished according to Russian state media citing Rosatom, Russia's nuclear energy agency. The incident has sparked a blame game between Moscow and Kyiv, with concerns over a potential nuclear meltdown looming.

Russian forces have occupied the plant illegally for more than two years. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported being informed of an alleged drone attack on one of the plant's cooling towers. Moscow accused Ukrainian forces of the attack, which allegedly occurred shortly after a visit by Dmitry Rogozin, a Kremlin representative with a history of interest in UAVs and UAGs.
