On April 26, 1986, the world held its breath as news broke that Chernobyl reactor 4 had been damaged, destroying the building it was housed in - a large fire burned and radioactive debris spurted out into the air.
Chernobyl is now raising concern again, some 36 years later, as reports claim invading Russian forces have completely disconnected the nuclear power plant from the grid. The plant has been captured by the advancing Russian army, the national nuclear energy provider Ukrenergo said.
"Because of the military actions of the Russian occupiers, the nuclear power plant in Chernobyl was fully disconnected from the power grid," the provider said.
