"Firefighters have been allowed to enter Zaporizhzhia NPP," said Oleksandr Starukh, head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration.

It is noted that currently the wind from the NPP is blowing towards the south-eastern part of Ukraine and in the direction of major Russian cities: Rostov-on-Don and Krasnodar.

As reported, Zaporizhzhia NPP declared nuclear threat due to being shelled by Russia’s heavy weapons.
