A sigh of relief Friday morning as the fire at the six-reactor Zaporozhskaya Nuclear Power Plant in Energodar, southwestern Ukraine, has been extinguished after an alleged Russian attack.
The fire at Europe’s largest nuclear power plant broke out Thursday night at an education and training building. By Friday morning, local emergency services said they had extinguished the fire, and no casualties were reported at the site.
“At 6:20 [local time], the fire in the training facility of Zaporozhskaya Nuclear Power Plant in Energodar was extinguished. There are no victims and casualties,” local emergency services announced on Facebook.

The incident, which sent global equity futures tumbling overnight, was initially reported by Energodar’s mayor as Russian shelling hit the facility. Mayor Dmytro Orlov said on Telegram, according to Reuters: “As a result of continuous enemy shelling of buildings and units of the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is on fire.” There were other reports that the fire damaged one of the reactors, but emergency services said those claims were false.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) also confirmed no “essential equipment” at the plant with damaged nor any change to radiation levels in the area.
