Europe's largest nuclear plant is on fire, say local officials

A fire has reportedly broken out at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the largest in Europe.
It appears to have been caused by "continuous enemy shelling of [the plant's] buildings and units", according to Mayor Dmytro Orlov of nearby Enerhodar.
Orlov had previously reported intense fighting between Ukrainian and Russian forces on the outskirts of his city, which is in the southeast.
Russian troops had tried to enter the city in tanks and seize the plant, but residents and workers were seen congregating around the plant and its surrounding roads on Wednesday.
Ukraine has four active nuclear plants including Zaporizhzhia.
It also deals with nuclear waste at sites like Chernobyl, now under Russian control.
The International Atomic Energy Agency said earlier today that it is consulting with Ukraine "and others with a view to provide maximum possible assistance to the country as it seeks to maintain nuclear safety and security in the current difficult circumstances".
