    Russia has started fire at nuclear power plant, says Zelenskyy

    Russian forces have started a fire at a nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said.

    The Ukrainian president said flames could be seen on the premises of the Zaporizhzhia plant, which has been occupied by Russian forces for much of the war.

    In a statement on X, he said radiation indicators were normal.

    He also shared a video purporting to show the fire. Sky News has not independently verified the clip.

    A local official in the Ukrainian city of Nikopol, which looks out onto the plant, said there was unofficial information that Russian forces had set fire to numerous tyres in the cooling towers.

    He urged residents to remain calm.

    Russian authorities in charge of the plant said the fire started near the facility's cooling towers, and rescuers were working to put it out.
