Russian Telegram channels showed new footage of the fire at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.

What is known so far about the incident at the nuclear power plant:

◾️ Last night, the Nikopol regional military administration reported that the occupiers set fire to a huge number of car tires near the cooling tower at ZNPP, which is located about a kilometer from the plant's power units.

◾️ The occupiers traditionally blamed Ukraine for everything and said that the plant was allegedly attacked by a Ukrainian drone.

◾️ Energoatom emphasized that the cause of the fire at the cooling tower was deliberate arson or negligence of the occupiers.

◾️ The IAEA said it "witnessed heavy dark smoke coming from the northern zone of the plant after multiple explosions."

◾️ The fire on the territory of Zaporizhzhia NPP has now stopped, according to the Dnipropetrovs'k regional military administration.

◾️ Radiation levels in Nikopol region are within normal limits.

Likely just tires stacked to burn in the cooling tower.
